The source SCAP datastreams require to be digitally signed to ensure integrity and authenticity.

Per previous SCAP 3.0 discussions, it appears that SCAP 3.0 will not mandate all content to be digitally signed, but strongly recommend that content be digitally signed. I would recommend going one step further with the documentation and state that SCAP applications MAY refuse to run unsigned content.
