Title

Identity Evidence

Control

Require evidence of individual identification be presented to the registration authority.

Discussion

Identity evidence, such as documentary evidence or a combination of documents and biometrics, reduces the likelihood of individuals using fraudulent identification to establish an identity or at least increases the work factor of potential adversaries. The forms of acceptable evidence are consistent with the risks to the systems, roles, and privileges associated with the user’s account.

Assessment objective

IA-12(02) evidence of individual identification is presented to the registration authority.
