id: "SC-40(03)" title: "Imitative or Manipulative Communications Deception" family: "SC" family_name: "System and Communications Protection" sort_id: "sc-40.03" priority: "P1" implementation_level: "system" parent: "SC-40" enhancement: True


Statement

Implement cryptographic mechanisms to identify and reject wireless transmissions that are deliberate attempts to achieve imitative or manipulative communications deception based on signal parameters.

Guidance

The implementation of cryptographic mechanisms to identify and reject imitative or manipulative communications ensures that the signal parameters of wireless transmissions are not predictable by unauthorized individuals. Such unpredictability reduces the probability of imitative or manipulative communications deception based on signal parameters alone.

Assessment Objective

cryptographic mechanisms are implemented to identify and reject wireless transmissions that are deliberate attempts to achieve imitative or manipulative communications deception based on signal parameters.
