Protection of Cryptographic Keys
LOW MODERATE HIGHRequirements NIST SOURCE
Cryptographic keys that protect access tokens are generated, managed, and protected from disclosure and misuse.
Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)
Identity assertions and access tokens are typically digitally signed. The private keys used to sign these assertions and tokens are protected commensurate with the impact of the system and information resources that can be accessed.

STIGs & CCIs
No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for IA-13(1). This section is architected to display, per product: STIG ID, Finding ID, Severity, Title, Description, Check, Fix, CCI, and NIST control mapping — but nothing is populated here until a real DISA STIG/CCI dataset is ingested.
