Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation at post-design stages directly uncovers incorrect implementations of required authentication algorithms.
Requiring documented development processes, standards, and tools reduces the chance that an established authentication algorithm is coded incorrectly.

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.
Secure SDLC practices directly require correct implementation of authentication algorithms.

Secure authentication control directly requires correct implementation of authentication algorithms.
Security testing can detect flawed authentication implementations but does not prevent them by itself.
Cryptography control addresses proper use of authentication algorithms but is broader than authentication alone.
Secure development lifecycle includes verification steps that can catch incorrect authentication implementations.
Application security requirements can specify correct authentication algorithm use but do not guarantee correct implementation.
Secure coding practices reduce the likelihood of incorrect authentication algorithm implementation.
