Statement

Display security and privacy attributes in human-readable form on each object that the system transmits to output devices to identify {{ insert: param, ac-16.05_odp.01 }} using {{ insert: param, ac-16.05_odp.02 }}.

Guidance

System outputs include printed pages, screens, or equivalent items. System output devices include printers, notebook computers, video displays, smart phones, and tablets. To mitigate the risk of unauthorized exposure of information (e.g., shoulder surfing), the outputs display full attribute values when unmasked by the subscriber.

Assessment Objective: security attributes are displayed in human-readable form on each object that the system transmits to output devices to identify {{ insert: param, ac-16.05_odp.01 }} using {{ insert: param, ac-16.05_odp.02 }};

Assessment Objective: privacy attributes are displayed in human-readable form on each object that the system transmits to output devices to identify {{ insert: param, ac-16.05_odp.01 }} using {{ insert: param, ac-16.05_odp.02 }}.
