NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 NIST800-IA-5(2): IA-5(2) Authenticator Management | Public Key-based Authentication

(a) For public key-based authentication: (1) Enforce authorized access to the corresponding private key; and (2) Map the authenticated identity to the account of the individual or group; and (b) When public key infrastructure (PKI) is used: (1) Validate certificates by constructing and verifying a certification path to an accepted trust anchor, including checking certificate status information; and (2) Implement a local cache of revocation data to support path discovery and validation.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 2 controls across 2 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

  • IA-5(2) IA-5(2) Authenticator Management | Public Key-based Authentication
  • IA-5(2) IA-5(2) Authenticator Management | Public Key-based Authentication

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.

Other controls in IA - Identification and Authentication

You are reading one control. How much of NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 have you already done?

NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 NIST800-IA-5(2) is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 your existing evidence covers. Hold ISO 27001:2022 and 163 of 1014 NIST SP 800-53 Rev 5 controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 342 were rejected on the ISO 27001:2022 pair alone.
