Description
Private key data is used to prove that the entity presenting a public key certificate is the certificate's rightful owner. Compromise of private key data allows an adversary to impersonate the key holder.

ℹ️ Check
Verify the Sentry uses encryption services that implement NIST FIPS-validated cryptography to protect the confidentiality of remote access sessions. On the Sentry CLI console, do the following: 1. SSH to Sentry Server from any SSH client. 2. Enter the administrator credentials set when Sentry was installed. 3. Enter "enable". 4. When prompted, enter the "enable secret" set when Sentry was installed. 5. Enter "show FIPS". 6. Verify "FIPS 140 mode is enabled" is displayed. If the Sentry Server does not report that FIPS mode is "enabled", this is a finding.

✔️ Fix
Configure the Sentry Server to use a FIPS 140-2-validated cryptographic module. On the Sentry console, do the following: 1. SSH to Sentry Server from any SSH client. 2. Enter the administrator credentials set when Sentry was installed. 3. Enter "enable". 4. When prompted, enter the "enable secret" set when Sentry was installed. 5. Enter "configure terminal". 6. Enter the following command to enable FIPS: FIPS 7. Enter the following command to proceed with the necessary reload: do reload 8. Enter "Yes" at save configuration modified prompt. 9. Enter "Yes" at proceed do reload.
