Requirement

Encrypt CUI on mobile devices and mobile computing platforms.[23]

Discussion

Organizations can employ full-device encryption or container-based encryption to protect the confidentiality of CUI on mobile devices and computing platforms. Container-based encryption provides a more fine-grained approach to the encryption of data and information including encrypting selected data structures such as files, records, or fields. See [NIST CRYPTO]. [23] Mobile devices and computing platforms include, for example, smartphones and tablets.
