AU-10(2) Validate Binding of Information Producer Identity

Control enhancement of AU-10 Non-repudiation

Control

(a)

Validate the binding of the information producer identity to the information at [Assignment: frequency] ; and

(b)

Perform [Assignment: actions] in the event of a validation error.

Discussion

Validating the binding of the information producer identity to the information prevents the modification of information between production and review. The validation of bindings can be achieved by, for example, using cryptographic checksums. Organizations determine if validations are in response to user requests or generated automatically.
