Constraint Task

Consistent with issue #606, this task focuses on constraints for "validation" components.

Intended Outcome

Ensure that all components of type "validation":

• must have a "validation-reference" prop
• the "validation-reference" prop contains the NIST lab certificate number. Note - see CMVP search. The certificate numbers are usually a four digit number (e.g., 0000)
• must have a "proof-of-compliance" link
• the "proof-of-compliance" link must contain an @href flag with valu that is resolvable to the public internet.

Syntax Type

This is required core OSCAL syntax.

Allowed Values

There are no relevant allowed values.

Metapath(s) to Content

context="//component[ @type='validation' and ./prop[@name='asset-type' and @value='cryptographic-module']  and  ./prop[@name='validation-type' and @value=('fips-140-2', 'fips-140-3')]  ]"

Purpose of the OSCAL Content

Validation components provide details about how each cryptographic module was independently validated. FedRAMP requires that where cryptography is utilized, it must be done with FIPS validated cryptographic modules.

Acceptance Criteria

• All OSCAL adoption content affected by the change in this issue have been updated in accordance with the Documentation Standards.
  • Explanation is present and accurate
  • sample content is present and accurate
  • Metapath is present, accurate, and does not throw a syntax exception using oscal-cli metaschema metapath eval -e "expression".
• All constraints associated with the review task have been created
• The appropriate example OSCAL file is updated with content that demonstrates the FedRAMP-compliant OSCAL presentation.
• The constraint conforms to the FedRAMP Constraint Style Guide.
  • All automated and manual review items that identify non-conformance are addressed; or technical leads (David Waltermire; AJ Stein) have approved the PR and “override” the style guide requirement.
• Known good test content is created for unit testing.
• Known bad test content is created for unit testing.
• Unit testing is configured to run both known good and known bad test content examples.
• Passing and failing unit tests, and corresponding test vectors in the form of known valid and invalid OSCAL test files, are created or updated for each constraint.
• A Pull Request (PR) is submitted that fully addresses the goals section of the User Story in the issue.
• This issue is referenced in the PR.
