Requirements Area Level 1Level 2Level 3Level 4 Level Major Characteristics Little or no confidence in the asserted identity’s validity Some confidence in the asserted identity’s validity High confidence in the asserted identity’s validity Provides highest practical remote network authentication assurance Authentication Token NoneSingle-factorMulti-factorMulti-factor; requires hard cryptographic token Components for identity proofing Confirmation of address, telephone number, or address of applicant Confirmation of address or telephone number in records with voice recording In-person presentation of two identifying documents with confirmation; fingerprint or photo taken Background: NIST E-Authentication Guidelines SP Note: Other security frameworks have been developed and have been used in the private sector 10

National Health Information Network Exchange Authentication performed at the Gateway (machine) level, using certificates issued at the Exchange level Gateways generally correspond to Participants (signatories to the DURSA) which may be Federal providers or agencies, IDNs, State or Regional HIOs, etc. Behind the Gateway, Participants implement authentication and express the result of authentication in SAML assertions Requirements for authentication defined at a high level in the DURSA, not otherwise standardized See background section for relevant excerpts from the DURSA 11

DEA Level 3 – Factors from Draft Knowledge Tokens –Memorized Secret Token (password) –Pre-registered Knowledge Token (favorite ice cream flavor) –Look-up Secret Token (card with number in cells) –Out of Band Token (text message to cell phone) Hard Tokens –Single Factor (SF) One Time Password (OTP) Device (SecureID fob) –Multi Factor (MF) OTP Device (OTP w/biometric unlock mechanism) –SF Cryptographic Device (FIPS verified crypto software) –MF Software Cryptographic Token (crypto software activated by password or biometric) –MF Cryptographic Device (crypto device activated by password or biometric) Stringent identity proofing requirements –e.g., requires use of federally approved credential service providers (CSPs) or certification authorities (CAs) The computer being used is not by itself a factor A biometric adds to the factor count when activating a device but not when used directly 12

Identity Proofing and Authentication: The Process 13

Identity Proofing (Stakeholder) 1.Identity proofing compatible with requirements of the federal bridge (i.e. certification authorities cross-certified with the federal bridge) 2.Numerous certificate issuers have a variety of processes for ID proofing which needs to be further explored (i.e. notaries, raised seals, stamps, Lexis Nexis) 3.Identity proofing for organizations 1.Establish a responsible party within the organization taking responsibility for the information (person with authority to bind the organization, may include physical visits to verify identify) 2.Mix between individual and organization level authorization with IHEs in various states such as Oregon and Arizona 14

Identity Management (Stakeholder) 1.Digital certificates (X509) 2.Work-level identity management 1.Individual level: single level/one-factor (password) 2.Within the context of an organization, an individual may be certified with a lesser approach than a digital certificate 3.General Applicability of tokens/certificates 1.One or multiple certificates/tokens per organization based on specific Use Case(s)? 2.DS4P: Requirement to be able to identify the organization and departments within an organization; therefore, multiple certificates may be needed for each organization for each department 1.Individual level may be needed depending on the Use Case 15
