What is an IA control?
[DODI 8500.2 2003] defines an IA Control as “an objective IA condition achieved through the application of specific safeguards or through the regulation of specific activities.
Does the information system use mechanisms for authentication to a cryptographic module?
The information system implements mechanisms for authentication to a cryptographic module that meet the requirements of applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance for such authentication.
What are information system identifiers?
Typically, individual identifiers are the user names of the information system accounts assigned to those individuals. Preventing reuse of identifiers implies preventing the assignment of previously used individual, group, role, or device identifiers to different individuals, groups, roles, or devices.
Is DoDI 8500.2 still valid?
Well, the short answer is there will be no revised DoDI 8500.2 — DoD has decided to simply rescind it. This publication describes the methodology that DoD will use for categorizing systems and selecting security controls.
What is the difference between Fisma and FedRAMP?
FedRAMP is a security certification for CSPs that provide cloud services to federal agencies. FISMA is a related certification that requires federal agencies and contractors to meet information security standards.
What is a crypto module?
Cryptographic modules are the centerpiece of Key Management Framework(KMF). They define the specific cryptographic mechanisms used for cryptographic operations for a given use case. An example is using AES-CBC with a 256-bit symmetric key to encrypt and decrypt data within an HR application, using Platform Encryption.
Is there a control description for NIST SP 800-53?
I’ve recently been working on a number of A&A tasks for the RMF for a US Government entity, and I’m having a hard time properly understanding the IA-7 control of NIST SP 800-53 and the supplement guidance and 800-53A isn’t providing me the clarity I require. For reference, this is the Control Description for IA-7:
What are the controls in NIST rev.5?
Rev. 5 controls are provided using the Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL); currently available in JSON, XML, and YAML.
What is the control description for ia-7?
For reference, this is the Control Description for IA-7: The information system implements mechanisms for authentication to a cryptographic module that meet the requirements of applicable federal laws, Executive Orders, directives, policies, regulations, standards, and guidance for such authentication.
What is Oscal version of SP 800-53 rev.5?
OSCAL version of 800-53 Rev. 5 controls Rev. 5 controls are provided using the Open Security Controls Assessment Language (OSCAL); currently available in JSON, XML, and YAML.
