We should be very clear that the architected solution is an acceptable
solution not THE solution.  Determining what is appropriate is...
(outside the scope?) 
What we are required to do is document the security (authentication &
integrity checks for sure) methods that the architected solution is
using and note the strengths and weaknesses in the selected methods.
