Thank you, Eric. -Tim From: Public [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Eric Mill via Public Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2018 10:43 AM To: Geoff Keating <[email protected]>; CA/Browser Forum Public Discussion List <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [cabfpub] Ballot 221 v3: Two-Factor Authentication and Password Improvements FedRAMP has published guidance about the new NIST password/identity guidelines: https://www.fedramp.gov/assets/resources/documents/CSP_Digital_Identity_Requirements.pdf They note that the formal baseline is still not updated, but encourage folks to follow NIST's new guidance regardless: NOTE: At the time of this document’s publication, FedRAMP Moderate and High controls IA-5 (g) and IA-5 (1) (a,d) are known to be more restrictive than the new password requirements in 800- 63B, AAL2 and AAL3 respectively. FedRAMP recommends Agency AOs accept compliance with NIST’s guidance that is most up-to-date and consistent with current cyber security threats. This may be done using an implementation status of “Alternative Implementation.” I also confirmed with the FedRAMP program that the baseline is expected to be updated to match NIST's SP 800-63, and thus avoid the need for any special acceptance. But the point is that FedRAMP is not an obstacle to dropping password rotation -- they are expecting service providers to follow NIST's guidance and drop it. -- Eric On Tue, May 15, 2018 at 6:48 PM, Geoff Keating via Public <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: > On May 15, 2018, at 8:37 AM, Patrick Tronnier via Public <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: > > I want to make it clear that OATI agrees with the minimum 2 year password > period as the more secure route.

J I've been looking at FedRAMP, because I was surprised they'd be putting out guidelines that conflict with NIST guidelines, and I can't find this requirement; for the 'high security controls' (https://www.fedramp.gov/assets/resources/documents/FedRAMP_High_Security_Controls.xlsx), it does require you have a minimum and maximum password lifetime in IA-05(1)(d), but it says the actual limits are organization-defined, so you can ask the organization to set the maximum lifetime to, say, 3 years. _______________________________________________ Public mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> https://cabforum.org/mailman/listinfo/public -- Eric Mill Senior Advisor, Technology Transformation Services Federal Acquisition Service, GSA [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> , +1-617-314-0966
