Rule version RHEL-10-200620 · STIG v1 · 2026-09-17

Discussion

The use of Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credentials facilitates standardization and reduces the risk of unauthorized access.

The DoW has mandated the use of the common access card (CAC) to support identity management and personal authentication for systems covered under Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD) 12, as well as making the CAC a primary component of layered protection for national security systems.

Check

Verify RHEL 10 has the "opensc" package installed with the following command:

$ sudo dnf list --installed opensc Installed Packages opensc.x86_64 0.26.1-1.el10 @rhel-10-for-x86_64-baseos-rpm

If the "opensc" package is not installed, this is a finding.
