FAU_GEN.2 User identity association
User application notes
This component addresses the requirement of accountability of auditable events at the level of individual user identity. This component should be used in addition to FAU_GEN.1 Audit data generation.
There is a potential conflict between the audit and privacy requirements. For audit purposes it may be desirable to know who performed an action. The user may want to keep his/her actions to himself/herself and not be identified by other persons (e.g. a site with job offers). Or it might be required in the Organisational Security Policy that the identity of the users must be protected. In those cases the objectives for audit and privacy might contradict each other. Therefore if this requirement is selected and privacy is important, inclusion of the component user pseudonimity might be considered. Requirements on determining the real user name based on its pseudonym are specified in the privacy class.
