🔶 SC-17: Public Key Infrastructure Certificates | (NIST 800-53)– Why Not? #cybersecurity #nist80053

Dive into the essentials of NIST SP 800-53 Control SC-17, which mandates:
Issuing public key certificates under an organization-defined certificate policy or obtaining them from an approved service provider.
Including only approved trust anchors in trust stores or certificate stores managed by the organization. NIST SP 800-53
These requirements ensure robust cryptographic protection, authentication, and non-repudiation across organizational systems and communications.

📌 Key Implementation Points:

Develop a comprehensive certificate policy outlining issuance, renewal, revocation, and secure storage processes.
Utilize automated tools for effective certificate lifecycle management.
Ensure trust stores contain only approved trust anchors, regularly auditing and updating them.
Protect private keys using hardware security modules (HSMs) and enforce role-based access controls.
Implement Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs) or Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) for timely invalidation of compromised or expired certificates.
Adhere to industry best practices for key lengths, hashing algorithms, and certificate validity periods.
Establish monitoring and incident response processes for certificate status and rapid replacement in case of compromise. NIST SP 800-53
By adhering to SC-17, organizations can ensure the integrity and security of their public key infrastructure, safeguarding sensitive information and maintaining trust in their digital communications.
