{"description": "The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) is a computer security standard which\nis developed by the U.S. Government and industry working groups to validate the quality\nof cryptographic modules. The FIPS standard provides four security levels to ensure\nadequate coverage of different industries, implementation of cryptographic modules, and\norganizational sizes and requirements.\n<br /><br />\nFIPS 140-2 is the current standard for validating that mechanisms used to access cryptographic modules\nutilize authentication that meets industry and government requirements. For government systems, this allows\nSecurity Levels 1, 2, 3, or 4 for use on Ubuntu 22.04.\n<br /><br />\nSee <b>\n    <a xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml' href='http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsFIPS.html'>http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/PubsFIPS.html</a></b> for more information.", "warnings": [], "requires": [], "conflicts": [], "values": {}, "groups": {}, "rules": ["enable_dracut_fips_module", "enable_fips_mode", "etc_system_fips_exists", "fips_crypto_policy_symlinks", "fips_crypto_subpolicy", "fips_custom_stig_sub_policy", "grub2_enable_fips_mode", "is_fips_mode_enabled", "package_dracut-fips-aesni_installed", "package_dracut-fips_installed", "sysctl_crypto_fips_enabled", "system_booted_in_fips_mode"], "platform": "", "platforms": [], "inherited_platforms": [], "cpe_platform_names": [], "title": "Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS)", "definition_location": "/aptdata/openscap/scap-security-guide/linux_os/guide/system/software/integrity/fips/group.yml"}
