Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
PKI certificate issuance and acquisition under an approved policy establishes the trusted roots and processes needed for correct validation.
Protecting session authenticity depends on cryptographic mechanisms whose trust depends on correct certificate validation.
Requiring confidentiality and integrity protection of transmitted data drives use of properly validated certificates in protocols such as TLS.
Mitigating Controls (NIST CSF 2.0) AI
Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Assessing authenticity/integrity of acquired software often relies on code-signing certificate validation.
Certificate-based authentication of users/services/hardware directly depends on correct validation.
Identity assertions conveyed via certificates require validation to be verified.
Proper certificate validation is a core mechanism for protecting data-in-transit confidentiality and integrity.
Secure development practices explicitly include implementing correct certificate validation logic.
