Assignment:

In FIA_SOS.1.1, the PP/ST author should provide a defined quality metric. The quality metric specification can be as simple as a description of the quality checks to be performed, or as formal as a reference to a government published standard that defines the quality metrics that secrets must meet. Examples of quality metrics could include a description of the alphanumeric structure of acceptable secrets and/or the space size that acceptable secrets must meet.
