Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute force attacks. The ability to crack a password is a function of how many attempts an adversary is permitted, how quickly an adversary can do each attempt, and the size of the password space. The longer the minimum length of the password is, the larger the password space. Having a too-short minimum password length significantly reduces password strength, increasing the chance of password compromise and resulting device and data compromise. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #1a
Checks: C-76175r1_chk

Review Samsung Android 7 with Knox configuration settings to determine if the mobile device is enforcing a minimum password length of six characters. This validation procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration Console and the Samsung Android 7 with Knox device. On the MDM console, do the following: 1. Ask the MDM administrator to display the "Minimum Length" setting in the "Android Password Restrictions" rule. 2. Verify the value of the setting is set to six or more characters. On the Samsung Android 7 with Knox device, do the following: 1. Open the device settings. 2. Select "Lock screen and security". 3. Select "Screen lock type". 4. Enter current password. 5. Select "Password". 6. Attempt to enter a password with fewer characters than six characters. 7. Verify the password is not accepted. If the MDM console "Minimum Length" setting is not set to six characters or more or on the Samsung Android 7 with Knox device, a password of less than six characters is accepted, this is a finding.

Fix: F-83197r1_fix

Configure the Samsung Android 7 with Knox to enforce a minimum password length of six characters. On the MDM console, set the "Minimum Length" value to "6" or greater in the "Android Password Restrictions" rule.

Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute force attacks. Passwords that contain repeating or sequential characters are significantly easier to guess than those that do not contain repeating or sequential characters. Therefore, disallowing repeating or sequential characters increases password strength and decreases risk. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #1b
Checks: C-76177r1_chk

Review Samsung Android 7 with Knox configuration settings to determine if the mobile device is prohibiting passwords with more than two repeating or sequential characters. If feasible, use a spare device to try to create a password with more than two repeating or sequential characters (e.g., bbb, 888, hij, 654). This validation procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration Console and the Samsung Android 7 with Knox device. On the MDM console, do the following: 1. Ask the MDM administrator to display the "Maximum Sequential Characters" setting in the "Android Password Restrictions" rule. 2. Verify the value of the setting is set to two or less sequential characters. 3. Ask the MDM administrator to display the "Maximum Sequential Numbers" setting in the "Android Password Restrictions" rule. 4. Verify the value of the setting is set to two or less sequential numbers. On the Samsung Android 7 with Knox device, do the following: 1. Open the device settings. 2. Select "Lock screen and security". 3. Select "Screen lock type". 4. Enter current password. 5. Select "Password". 6. Attempt to enter a password that contains more than two sequential characters or sequential numbers. 7. Verify the password is not accepted. If the MDM console "Maximum Sequential Character" and "Maximum Sequential Number" are set to more than two repeating or sequential characters or on the Samsung Android 7 with Knox device, a password with more than two repeating or sequential characters is accepted, this is a finding.

Fix: F-83199r1_fix

The screen lock timeout must be set to a value that helps protect the device from unauthorized access. Having a too-long timeout would increase the window of opportunity for adversaries who gain physical access to the mobile device through loss, theft, etc. Such devices are much more likely to be in an unlocked state when acquired by an adversary, thus granting immediate access to the data on the mobile device. The maximum timeout period of 15 minutes has been selected to balance functionality and security; shorter timeout periods may be appropriate depending on the risks posed to the mobile device. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #2a, 2b
Checks: C-76179r1_chk

Review Samsung Android 7 with Knox configuration settings to determine if the mobile device has the screen lock timeout set to 15 minutes or less. This validation procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration Console and the Samsung Android 7 with Knox device. On the MDM console, do the following: 1. Ask the MDM administrator to display the "Maximum Time to Lock" setting in the "Android Password Restrictions" rule. 2. Verify the value of the setting is "15" minutes or less. On the Samsung Android 7 with Knox device, do the following: 1. Unlock the device. 2. Refrain from performing any activity on the device for "15" minutes. 3. Verify the device requires the user to enter the device unlock password to access the device. If the MDM console "Maximum Time to Lock" is not set to "15" minutes or less for the screen lock timeout or on the Samsung Android 7 with Knox device, if after "15" minutes of inactivity the user does not have to enter password to unlock the device, this is a finding.

The more attempts an adversary has to guess a password, the more likely the adversary will enter the correct password and gain access to resources on the device. Setting a limit on the number of attempts mitigates this risk. Setting the limit at "10" or less gives authorized users the ability to make a few mistakes when entering the password but still provides adequate protection against dictionary or brute force attacks on the password. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #2c, FIA_AFL_EXT.1.5
Checks: C-76181r1_chk

Review Samsung Android 7 with Knox configuration settings to determine if the mobile device has the maximum number of consecutive failed authentication attempts at "10" or less. This validation procedure is performed on the MDM Administration Console only. On the MDM console, do the following: 1. Ask the MDM administrator to display the "Maximum Failed Attempts for wipe" field in the "Android Password Restrictions" rule for the device unlock password. 2. Verify the value of the setting is "10" or less. If the MDM console "Maximum Failed Attempts for wipe" is not set to "10" or less, this is a finding.

The application whitelist, in addition to controlling the installation of applications on the MD, must control user access/execution of all core and preinstalled applications or the MD must provide an alternate method of restricting user access/execution to core and pre-installed applications. Core application - any application integrated into the operating system (OS) by the OS or mobile device (MD) vendors. Pre-installed application - additional non-core applications included in the OS build by the OS vendor, MD vendor, or wireless carrier. Requiring all authorized applications to be in an application whitelist prevents the execution of any applications (e.g., unauthorized, malicious) that are not part of the whitelist. Failure to configure an application whitelist properly could allow unauthorized and malicious applications to be downloaded, installed, and executed on the mobile device, causing a compromise of DoD data accessible by these applications. The application whitelist, in addition to controlling the installation of applications on the MD, must control user access/execution of all core applications (included in the operating system (OS) by the OS vendor) and pre-installed applications (provided by the MD vendor and wireless carrier), or the MD must provide an alternate method of restricting user access/execution to core and pre-installed applications.

Note, this requirement is Not Applicable if the AO has approved an unmanaged personal container (COPE use case). The site must have an AO signed document showing the AO has assumed the risk for using an unmanaged personal container. Review Samsung Android 7 with Knox configuration settings to determine if the mobile device has been configured to whitelist application installations based on one of the following characteristics: - Digital signature - Package Name Verify all applications listed on the whitelist have been approved by the Approving Official (AO). This validation procedure is performed only on the MDM Administration Console. On the MDM console, do the following (do 1 & 2 or 3 & 4): 1. Ask the MDM administrator to display the "Package Name Whitelist" in the "Android Applications" rule. 2. Verify the whitelist includes only package names that the Authorizing Official (AO) has approved. OR 3. Ask the MDM administrator to display the "Signature Whitelist" in the "Android Applications" rule. 4. Verify the whitelist includes only digital signatures the Authorizing Official (AO) has approved. Note: Either list may be empty if the Authorizing Official (AO) has not approved any apps. Note: Refer to the Supplemental document for additional information. If the MDM console "Package Name Whitelist" or "Signature Whitelist" contains non-AO approved entries, this is a finding.

Fix: F-83209r1_fix

Configure the Samsung Android 7 with Knox device to whitelist application installations based on the one of the following characteristics: - Digital signature - Package Name Both whitelists apply to user installable applications only, and do not control user access/execution of core and preinstalled applications. To restrict user access/execution to core and pre-installed applications, the MDM administrator must configure the "application disable list”. It is important to note that if the MDM administrator has not blacklisted an application characteristic (package name, digital signature) then it is implicitly whitelisted, as whitelists are exceptions to blacklists. If an application characteristic appears in both the blacklist and whitelist, the white list (as the exception to the blacklist) takes priority, and the User will be able to install the application. Therefore, the MDM administrator must configure the blacklists to include all package names and digital signatures for whitelisting to behave as intended. Note that some MDM vendors have implemented the blacklist function described above behind the scenes and there may not be a blacklist function to configure by the system administrator. On the MDM console, do one of the following: 1. Add each AO-approved package name to the "Package Name Whitelist" in the "Android Applications" rule. 2. Add each AO-approved digital signature to the "Signature Whitelist" in the "Android Applications" rule. Note: Either list may be empty if the Authorizing Official (AO) has not approved any apps. Note: Refer to the Supplemental document for additional information.

The Samsung Android 7 with Knox is required to display the DoD-approved system use notification message or banner before granting access to the system that provides privacy and security notices consistent with applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance. Required banners help ensure that DoD can audit and monitor the activities of mobile device users without legal restriction. System use notification messages can be displayed when individuals first access or unlock the mobile device. The banner shall be implemented as a "click-through" banner at device unlock (to the extent permitted by the operating system). A "click through" banner prevents further activity on the information system unless and until the user executes a positive action to manifest agreement by clicking on a box indicating “OK.” The approved DoD text must be used exactly as required in the KS referenced in DoDI 8500.01. For devices accommodating banners of 1300 characters, the banner text is: You are accessing a U.S. Government (USG) Information System (IS) that is provided for USG-authorized use only. By using this IS (which includes any device attached to this IS), you consent to the following conditions: -The USG routinely intercepts and monitors communications on this IS for purposes including, but not limited to, penetration testing, COMSEC monitoring, network operations and defense, personnel misconduct (PM), law enforcement (LE), and counterintelligence (CI) investigations. -At any time, the USG may inspect and seize data stored on this IS. -Communications using, or data stored on, this IS are not private, are subject to routine monitoring, interception, and search, and may be disclosed or used for any USG-authorized purpose. -This IS includes security measures (e.g., authentication and access controls) to protect USG interests--not for your personal benefit or privacy. -Notwithstanding the above, using this IS does not constitute consent to PM, LE or CI investigative searching or monitoring of the content of privileged communications, or work product, related to personal representation or services by attorneys, psychotherapists, or clergy, and their assistants. Such communications and work product are private and confidential. See User Agreement for details.

App data sharing gives apps the ability to access the data of other apps for enhanced user functionality. However, sharing also poses a significant risk that unauthorized users or apps will obtain access to DoD-sensitive information. To mitigate this risk, there are data sharing restrictions. If a user is allowed to make exceptions to the data sharing restriction policy, the user could enable unauthorized sharing of data, leaving it vulnerable to breach. Limiting the granting of exceptions to either the administrator or common application developer mitigates this risk. Copy/paste of data between applications in different application processes or groups of application processes is considered an exception to the access control policy and therefore, the Administrator must be able to enable/disable the feature. Other exceptions include allowing any data or application sharing between process groups. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #42, FDP_ACF_EXT.1.2

Determining the correct time a particular application event occurred on a system is critical when conducting forensic analysis and investigating system events. Periodically synchronizing internal clocks with an authoritative time source is needed in order to correctly correlate the timing of events that occur across the enterprise. The three authoritative time sources for Samsung Android 7 with Knox are an authoritative time server that is synchronized with redundant United States Naval Observatory (USNO) time servers as designated for the appropriate DoD network (NIPRNet or SIPRNet), or the Global Positioning System (GPS), or the wireless carrier. Time stamps generated by the audit system in Samsung Android 7 with Knox must include both date and time. The time may be expressed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), a modern continuation of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), or local time with an offset from UTC. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #47

WiFi Tethering allows a device to act as an Access Point sharing its data connection with other wirelessly connected devices. Previously the device could only share its Mobile (Cellular) data connection. On the Device menus this is referred to as "Mobile Hotspot". The new feature is an optional configuration of WiFi Tethering/Mobile Hotspot, which allows the Device to share its WiFi connection with other wirelessly connected devices, instead of its Mobile (Cellular) connection. WiFi sharing grants the "other" device access to a corporate WiFi network, and may possibly bypass the network access control mechanisms. This risk can be partially mitigated by requiring the use of a pre-shared key for personal hotspots. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #47
Checks: C-76301r1_chk

Verify WiFi Sharing is disabled or alternately, the "WiFi Tethering/Mobile Hotspot" control is disabled. First, determine if the AO has approved WiFi Tethering/Mobile Hotspot use.

The application whitelist, in addition to controlling the installation of applications on the MD, must control user access/execution of all core and preinstalled applications or the MD must provide an alternate method of restricting user access/execution to core and pre-installed applications. Core application - any application integrated into the operating system (OS) by the OS or mobile device (MD) vendors. Pre-installed application - additional non-core applications included in the OS build by the OS vendor, MD vendor, or wireless carrier. Requiring all authorized applications to be in an application whitelist prevents the execution of any applications (e.g., unauthorized, malicious) that are not part of the whitelist. Failure to configure an application whitelist properly could allow unauthorized and malicious applications to be downloaded, installed, and executed on the mobile device, causing a compromise of DoD data accessible by these applications. The application whitelist, in addition to controlling the installation of applications on the MD, must control user access/execution of all core applications (included in the operating system (OS) by the OS vendor) and pre-installed applications (provided by the MD vendor and wireless carrier), or the MD must provide an alternate method of restricting user access/execution to core and pre-installed applications.

Fix: F-83329r1_fix

Configure the Samsung Android 7 with Knox to whitelist application installations into the container based on one of the following characteristics: - Digital signature - Package Name Both whitelists apply to user installable applications only, and do not control user access/execution of core and preinstalled applications. To restrict user access/execution to core and pre-installed applications, the MDM administrator must configure the "application disable list”. It is important to note that if the MDM administrator has not blacklisted an application characteristic (package name, digital signature) then it is implicitly whitelisted, as whitelists are exceptions to blacklists. If an application characteristic appears in both the blacklist and whitelist, the white list (as the exception to the blacklist) takes priority, and the User will be able to install the application. Therefore, the MDM administrator must configure the blacklists to include all package names or digital signatures for whitelisting to behave as intended. On the MDM console, do one of the following: 1. Add each AO-approved package name to the "Package Name Whitelist" in the "Android Knox Container >> Container Applications" rule. OR 2. Add each AO-approved digital signature to the "Signature Whitelist" in the "Android Knox Container >> Container Applications" rule.

Password strength is a measure of the effectiveness of a password in resisting guessing and brute-force attacks. The ability to crack a password is a function of how many attempts an adversary is permitted, how quickly an adversary can do each attempt, and the size of the password space. The longer the minimum length of the password is, the larger the password space. Having a too-short minimum password length significantly reduces password strength, increasing the chance of password compromise and resulting device and data compromise. SFR ID: FMT_SMF_EXT.1.1 #47

Blacklisting all applications is required so only whitelisted applications can be installed on the device. Requiring all authorized applications to be in an application whitelist prevents the execution of any applications (e.g., unauthorized, malicious) that are not part of the whitelist. Failure to configure an application whitelist and blacklist properly could allow unauthorized and malicious applications to be downloaded, installed, and executed on the mobile device, causing a compromise of DoD data accessible by these applications.
