Decision Criteria
- Ease of use - A credential may work in the background, require user input or user setup. A user’s tech savvy, awareness, and support available relate to the ease of use.
- Security level - A higher level of risk requires a higher level of security. Risk may be related to value of information, consumer confidence, security compliance, or reputation.
- Cost - It is important to factor in both the per-unit cost and the cost to set up, distribute and manage the credential.
