Chapter 950 - RULES GOVERNING THE USE OF DIGITAL SIGNATURES
Section 250-950-3 - AUTHENTICATION

Current through 2024-38, September 18, 2024

A. Authentication establishes the unique identity of a Signer as the official of the organization using Digital Signatures in transactions involving a State Agency.

B. Authentication is determined by three standard factors:

1. Knowledge, meaning something the Signer knows. Examples include, without limitation, user name, password, pass phrase, PIN, and answers to security questionnaire.

2. Possession, meaning something the Signer has. Examples include, without limitation, a key fob, and a smart card.

3. Intrinsic, meaning something the Signer is. Examples include, without limitation, biometrics, such as fingerprint or retina scan.

C. The minimum requirement for on-premise Authentication is Knowledge (e.g., a password). The minimum requirements for remote Authentication are a combination of Knowledge and Possession (e.g., a password plus a key fob).
