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

(a): Validate the binding of the information producer identity to the information at [the frequency at which to validate the binding of the information producer identity to the information is defined;] ; and

(b): Perform [the actions to be performed in the event of a validation error are defined;] in the event of a validation error.

Supplemental

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.
