Rule version GOOG-15-010000 · STIG v1 · 2026-08-24

Discussion

DoW root and intermediate PKI certificates are used to verify the authenticity of PKI certificates of users and web services. If the root and intermediate certificates are not available, an adversary could falsely sign a certificate in such a way that it could not be detected. Providing access to the DoW root and intermediate PKI certificates greatly diminishes the risk of this attack.

SFRID: FMT_SMF.1.1 #11

Check

Review device configuration settings to confirm that the DoW root and intermediate PKI certificates are installed.

This procedure is performed on both the EMM Administration console and the managed Google Android 15 device.

The current DoW root and intermediate PKI certificates may be obtained in self-extracting zip files at http://cyber.mil/pki-pke (for NIPRNet).

On the EMM console, verify that the DoW root and intermediate certificates are part of a device and/or work profile that is being pushed down to the devices.

On the managed Google Android 15 device:

1. Open Settings. 2. Tap "Security & privacy". 3. Tap "Advanced". 4. Tap "More security & privacy". 5. Tap "Encryption & credentials". 6. Tap "Trusted credentials". 7. Verify that DoW root and intermediate PKI certificates are listed under the "User" tab in the "Work" section.

If on the EMM console the DoW root and intermediate certificates are not listed in a profile, or the managed Android 15 device does not list the DoW root and intermediate certificates under the user tab, this is a finding.

Fix

Configure the Google Android 15 device to install DoW root and intermediate certificates.

On the EMM console, upload DoW root and intermediate certificates as part of a device and/or work profile.

The current DoW root and intermediate PKI certificates may be obtained in self-extracting zip files at http://cyber.mil/pki-pke (for NIPRNet).
