Description
Multifactor authentication is defined as: using two or more factors to achieve authentication. Factors include: (i) something you know (e.g. password/PIN); (ii) something you have (e.g., cryptographic identification device, token); or (iii) something you are (e.g., biometric). Non-privileged account: An information system account with authorizations of a regular or non-privileged user. Local access: Access to an organizational information system by a user (or process acting on behalf of a user) communicating through a direct connection without the use of a network. Multifactor authentication provides strong protection for authentication mechanisms. Without a strong authentication method, the system is more easily breached by standard access control attacks.
