K
- Key
- A method used by an individual to authenticate their identity across the Internet. Examples of a 'Key' include username/password combinations, digital certificates and tokens.
- Key Strength
- Key strength refers to the level of confidence that can be attributed to the presentation of any particular Key type. For instance username/memorised password is considered the weakest form of authentication. The use of a PIN/physical token is considered stronger. Service Agencies might set a minimum "key strength", then use this attribute to see if a Client's Key is suitable for the service.
