Assessment Objective

Determine if:

• IA-13(01)[01] cryptographic keys that protect access tokens are generated;
• IA-13(01)[02] cryptographic keys that protect access tokens are managed;
• IA-13(01)[03] cryptographic keys that protect access tokens are protected from disclosure; and
• IA-13(01)[04] cryptographic keys that protect access tokens are protected from disclosure and misuse

Assessment Methods

• procedures addressing cryptographic key establishment and management;
• system design documentation;
• cryptographic mechanisms;
• system configuration settings and associated documentation;
• system security plan;
• other relevant documents or records

Interview

• System/network administrators;
• organizational personnel with information security responsibilities;
• organizational personnel with responsibilities for cryptographic key establishment and/or management

Test

• Organizational processes for cryptographic key management;
• cryptographic modules generating, storing, and using cryptographic keys
