The VA Decision Matrix displays the current and future VAIT position regarding different releases of a TRM entry. These decisions are based upon the best information available as of the most current date. The consumer of this information has the responsibility to consult the organizations responsible for the desktop, testing, and/or production environments to ensure that the target version of the technology will be supported.

Legend:

White	Authorized: The technology/standard has been authorized for use.
Yellow	Authorized w/ Constraints: The technology/standard can be used within the specified constraints located below the decision matrix in the footnote[1] and on the General tab.
Gray	Authorized w/ Constraints (POA&M): This technology or standard can be used only if a POA&M review is conducted and signed by the Authorizing Official Designated Representative (AODR) as designated by the Authorizing Official (AO) or designee and based upon a recommendation from the POA&M Compliance Enforcement, has been granted to the project team or organization that wishes to use the technology.
Orange	Authorized w/ Constraints (DIVEST): VA has decided to divest itself on the use of the technology/standard. As a result, all projects currently utilizing the technology/standard must plan to eliminate their use of the technology/standard. Additional information on when the entry is projected to become unauthorized may be found on the Decision tab for the specific entry.
Black	Unauthorized: The technology/standard is not (currently) permitted to be used under any circumstances.
Blue	Authorized w/ Constraints (PLANNING/EVALUATION): The period of time this technology is currently being evaluated, reviewed, and tested in controlled environments. Use of this technology is strictly controlled and not available for use within the general population. If a customer would like to use this technology, please work with your local or Regional OI&T office and contact the appropriate evaluation office displayed in the notes below the decision matrix. The Local or Regional OI&T office should submit an inquiry to the TRM if they require further assistance or if the evaluating office is not listed in the notes below.

Release/Version Information:

VA decisions for specific versions may include a ‘.x’ wildcard, which denotes a decision that pertains to a range of multiple versions.

For example, a technology authorized with a decision for 7.x would cover any version of 7.(Anything) - 7.(Anything). However, a 7.4.x decision would cover any version of 7.4.(Anything), but would not cover any version of 7.5.x or 7.6.x on the TRM.

VA decisions for specific versions may include ‘+’ symbols; which denotes that the decision for the version specified also includes versions greater than what is specified but is not to exceed or affect previous decimal places.

For example, a technology authorized with a decision for 12.6.4+ would cover any version that is greater than 12.6.4, but would not exceed the .6 decimal ie: 12.6.401 is ok, 12.6.5 is ok, 12.6.9 is ok, however 12.7.0 or 13.0 is not.

Any major.minor version that is not listed in the VA Decision Matrix is considered Authorized w/ Constraints (POA&M).

Decision Constraints


[1]	If free trialware is utilized, the software must be purchased or removed at the end of the trial period. Per the Security Assessment Review, users must abide by the following constraints: A vulnerability exists because the IDMaker Software is not FIPS 140-2, (or its successor) certified. To mitigate, due to potential information security risks with processing badge requests with the solution, it is recommended that information is secured using a VA approved encryption platform to protect potentially vulnerable data. A vulnerability exists because IDMaker Software installs multiple open-source components for software functionality. To mitigate third-party/open-source components incorporated into IDMaker Software, the vendor must maintain all components during the entire product lifecycle, including responding to vulnerabilities discovered in third-party components used in the product. A vulnerability exists because IDMaker includes an unsupported version of Microsoft C++ 2005 Library (Version 8.00.50727.6195). Microsoft no longer provides maintenance and security support for the product. To mitigate, administrators must ensure that installed versions of Microsoft® C Runtime Libraries are updated to a TRM approved version of the software. The vendor must maintain all third-party components during the entire product lifecycle, including responding to vulnerabilities discovered in third-party components used in the product. A vulnerability exists because IDMaker installs an outdated version of libcurl shared library (7.29.0) which has multiple published vulnerabilities and is listed as Authorized w/ Constraints (POA&M) on the VA TRM. To mitigate, system administrators shall use the latest version of the product where possible and monitor both the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) Details and NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD) websites for any new security vulnerabilities. A vulnerability exists because IDMaker installs an outdated version of OpenSSL Shared Library (1.0.1e) which has multiple published vulnerabilities and is listed as Authorized w/ Constraints (POA&M) on the VA TRM. To mitigate, system administrators shall use the latest version of the product where possible and monitor both the CVE Details and NIST NVD websites for any new security vulnerabilities. A vulnerability exists because IDMaker installs a version of Portable Network Graphics (PNG) image compression library (1.5.2) which has multiple published vulnerabilities. To mitigate, system administrators shall use the latest version of the product where possible and monitor both the CVE Details and NIST NVD websites for any new security vulnerabilities. A vulnerability exists because IDMaker installs an outdated version of zlib data compression library (1.2.5) which has multiple published vulnerabilities and is listed as Authorized w/ Constraints (POA&M) on the VA TRM. To mitigate, system administrators shall use the latest version of the product where possible and monitor both the CVE Details and NIST NVD websites for any new security vulnerabilities. A vulnerability exists because IDMaker installs a version of Windows Driver Files (WDF) Coinstaller (1.9.7600.16385) which has a published vulnerability. To mitigate, system administrators shall use the latest version of the product where possible and monitor both the CVE Details and NIST NVD websites for any new security vulnerabilities.

[2]	Veterans Affairs (VA) users must ensure VA sensitive data is properly protected in compliance with all VA regulations. All instances of deployment using this technology should be reviewed by the local ISSO (Information System Security Officer) to ensure compliance with both VA Handbook 6500 and VA Directive 6500.

[3]	Users should check with their supervisor, Information System Security Officer (ISSO) or local OIT representative for permission to download and use this software. Downloaded software must always be scanned for viruses prior to installation to prevent adware or malware. Freeware may only be downloaded directly from the primary site that the creator of the software has advertised for public download and user or development community engagement. Users should note, any attempt by the installation process to install any additional, unrelated software is not authorized and the user should take the proper steps to decline those installations.

[4]	The Federal Information Processing standards (FIPS) 140-2 certification status of this technology was not able to be verified. This technology will require a 3rd party FIPS 140-2 or 140-3 certified solution for any data containing PHI/PII or VA sensitive information, where applicable. More information regarding the Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) can be found on the NIST website.

Note:

At the time of writing, version 3.0 is the most current version, released 10/01/2014.

Name	Description
Microsoft Visual C++	ID Maker includes Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package (Version 8.00.50727.6195). The Visual C++ Redistributable installs Microsoft C and C++ (MSVC) runtime libraries. Many applications built using Microsoft C and C++ tools require these libraries. If your app uses those libraries, a Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable package must be installed on the target system before you install your app. The Redistributable package architecture must match your app`s target architecture.
