Discussion

DOD root and intermediate PKI certificates are used to verify the authenticity of PKI certificates of users and web services. If the user is allowed to remove root and intermediate certificates, the user could allow an adversary to falsely sign a certificate in such a way that it could not be detected. Restricting the ability to remove DOD root and intermediate PKI certificates to the administrator mitigates this risk. SFR ID: FMT_MOF_EXT.1.2 #47

Check Content

Review the device configuration to confirm that the user is unable to remove DOD root and intermediate PKI certificates.

On the EMM console:

1. Open "Set user restrictions".
2. Verify that "Disallow config credentials" is toggled to "ON".

On the Honeywell Android 13 device:

1. Open Settings.
2. Tap "Security".
3. Tap "Advanced".
4. Tap "Encryption & credentials".
5. Tap "Trusted credentials".
6. Verify that the user is unable to untrust or remove any work certificates.
 
If on the Honeywell Android 13 device the user is able to remove certificates, this is a finding.
