Explanation
DIACAP (DoD Information Assurance Certification and Accreditation Process) defines four primary phases: System Definition (C) - establishing the IA posture and documenting the system; Verification (D) - confirming that IA controls are correctly implemented; Validation (E) - confirming the system meets its IA requirements and authorizing operation; and Re-Accreditation (F) - periodic review and renewal of accreditation as the system or threat environment changes. 'Accreditation' (A) and 'Identification' (B) are not named phases within the DIACAP framework - accreditation is an outcome of the Validation phase, not a separate phase.
