The DNS server implementation must provide protected storage for cryptographic keys with organization-defined safeguards and/or hardware protected key store.

STIG ID: SRG-APP-000915-DNS-000310  |  SRG: SRG-APP-000915 |  Severity: medium (CAT II)  |  CCI: CCI-004910 |  Vulnerability Id: V-263644

Vulnerability Discussion

A Trusted Platform Module (TPM) is an example of a hardware-protected data store that can be used to protect cryptographic keys.

Check

Verify the DNS server implementation is configured to provide protected storage for cryptographic keys with organization-defined safeguards and/or hardware protected key store.

If the DNS server implementation is not configured to provide protected storage for cryptographic keys with organization-defined safeguards and/or hardware protected key store, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure the DNS server implementation to provide protected storage for cryptographic keys with organization-defined safeguards and/or hardware protected key store.
