Consumer Strong Authentication: Addressing Deployment Obstacles by Enabling Token Sharing
This paper, Consumer
Strong Authentication: Addressing Deployment Obstacles by Enabling Token
Sharing, explores the issues and challenges associated with
deploying strong authentication for consumer-facing applications and
services to help address identity theft and phishing. The concept
of token sharing will be introduced and presented as a major solution
component to help address several of the obstacles to deploying strong
authentication for consumer applications.
Token Sharing Models
There are several
models that could facilitate a token sharing “network” that can allow
for ubiquitous strong authentication for consumers. This paper will
discuss four different models:
- Centralized Token
Service
- Distributed Validation
- Federated Identity
- Using Credential
Wallets
There are several
technical and business factors influencing the various models, which
affect their applicability to certain use cases. The rest of this
paper will explain each model and compare and contrast them against
the use cases each of them serve.
