| 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).
A non-privileged account is defined as an information system account with authorizations of a regular or non-privileged user.
When one of the authentication factors is provided by a device separate from the system that is gaining access, this is referred to as out of band 2 factor authentication. |
