Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130, Management of Federal Information Resources, requires managers of publicly accessible information repositories or dissemination systems that contain sensitive but unclassified data to ensure sensitive data is protected commensurate with the risk and magnitude of the harm that would result from the loss, misuse, or unauthorized access to or modification of such data. This Special Publication provides guidance to the selection and implementation of the TLS protocol while making effective use of Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) approved cryptographic algorithms, and suggests that TLS 1.0 configured with FIPS based cipher suites is the appropriate secure transport protocol.
