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.

Flaw identification and remediation processes can locate and correct control-flow errors once they manifest as incorrect runtime behavior.

degrades

Secure authentication control directly requires correct implementation of authentication algorithms.

finds

Security testing can detect flawed authentication implementations but does not prevent them by itself.

degrades

Cryptography control addresses proper use of authentication algorithms but is broader than authentication alone.

prevents

Secure development lifecycle includes verification steps that can catch incorrect authentication implementations.

prevents

Application security requirements can specify correct authentication algorithm use but do not guarantee correct implementation.

prevents

Secure coding practices reduce the likelihood of incorrect authentication algorithm implementation.
