Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Cryptographic protection mandates selection and use of approved algorithms whose parameters can include sufficient work factors for password hashing.

Authenticator management requires secure generation, distribution, and storage of passwords, directly enforcing computationally expensive hashing schemes.

Protection of information at rest requires cryptographic safeguards on stored password hashes, reducing exposure to offline cracking.
