About FIPS compliant ciphers

The appliance restricts the use of FIPS compliant ciphers to communicate with Kerberos, AD and LDAP servers to strengthen the security of the appliance.

Appliance release 5.0

If you have configured the appliance to use the Kerberos server, only the following FIPS compliant ciphers are used for communicating with the Kerberos server.

  • aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96

  • aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96

If you have configured the appliance to use the LDAP server, only TLS v1.2 and the following FIPS compliant ciphers are used for communicating with the LDAP server.

  • ecdhe-rsa-aes128-gcm-sha256

  • ecdhe-rsa-aes256-gcm-sha384

  • dhe-rsa-aes128-gcm-sha256

  • dhe-rsa-aes256-gcm-sha384

If you have configured the appliance to use the AD server, only the following FIPS compliant ciphers are used for communicating with the AD server.

  • aes256-cts-hmac-sha1-96

  • aes128-cts-hmac-sha1-96

Appliance release 5.1.1

When you run the Main > Settings > Security > FIPS > Enable All command, the following cipher policies are enforced:

  • cipher = AES-256-GCM AES-256-CCM AES-256-CTR AES-256-CBC AES-128-GCM AES-128-CCM AES-128-CTR AES-128-CBC

  • group = SECP256R1 SECP384R1 SECP521R1 FFDHE-2048 FFDHE-3072 FFDHE-4096 FFDHE-6144 FFDHE-8192

  • hash = SHA2-256 SHA2-384 SHA2-512 SHA2-224 SHA3-256 SHA3-384 SHA3-512

  • key_exchange = ECDHE DHE DHE-RSA PSK DHE-PSK ECDHE-PSK

  • mac = AEAD HMAC-SHA2-256 HMAC-SHA1 HMAC-SHA2-384 HMAC-SHA2-512
