Verification of Identity Assertions and Access Tokens
LOW MODERATE HIGHRequirements NIST SOURCE
The source and integrity of identity assertions and access tokens are verified before granting access to system and information resources.
Discussion (NIST Supplemental Guidance)
This includes verification of digital signatures protecting identity assertions and access tokens, as well as included metadata. Metadata includes information about the access request such as information unique to user, system or information resource being accessed, or the transaction itself such as time. Protected system and information resources could include connected networks, applications, and APIs.

STIGs & CCIs
No STIG checks or CCI mappings are currently loaded for IA-13(2). 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.
