ia-8.2 - [catalog] Acceptance of External Authenticators

Control Statement

  • [a] Accept only external authenticators that are NIST-compliant; and

  • [b] Document and maintain a list of accepted external authenticators.

Control guidance

Acceptance of only NIST-compliant external authenticators applies to organizational systems that are accessible to the public (e.g., public-facing websites). External authenticators are issued by nonfederal government entities and are compliant with SP 800-63B . Approved external authenticators meet or exceed the minimum Federal Government-wide technical, security, privacy, and organizational maturity requirements. Meeting or exceeding Federal requirements allows Federal Government relying parties to trust external authenticators in connection with an authentication transaction at a specified authenticator assurance level.

Control assessment-objective

only external authenticators that are NIST-compliant are accepted; a list of accepted external authenticators is documented; a list of accepted external authenticators is maintained.
