Details

Non-repudiation of actions taken is required in order to maintain application integrity. Examples of particular actions taken by individuals include creating information, sending a message, approving information (e.g., indicating concurrence or signing a contract), and receiving a message.

Non-repudiation protects individuals against later claims by an author of not having authored a particular document, a sender of not having transmitted a message, a receiver of not having received a message, or a signatory of not having signed a document.

Typical application server actions requiring non-repudiation will be related to application deployment among developer/users and administrative actions taken by admin personnel.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.
