                        Low authentication level of assurance indicates that the relying

               little or no confidence in the asserted identity. No identity proofing is required at
               this level, but the authentication mechanism should provide some assurance that the same
               claimant is accessing the protected transaction or data. A wide range of available authentication
               technologies can be employed and any of the token methods of Levels 2, 3, or 4, including
               Personal Identification Numbers (PINs), may be used. To be authenticated, the claimant

               authentication, including identity-proofing requirements for presentation of identifying
               materials or information. A wide range of available authentication technologies can be
               employed, including any of the token methods of Levels 3 or 4, as well as passwords. Successful

                        Medium authentication level of assurance indicates that the relying
               party may have high confidence in the asserted identity's validity.  Level 3 is appropriate
               for transactions that need high confidence in the accuracy of the asserted identity. Level
               3 provides multifactor remote network authentication. At this level, identity-proofing
               procedures require verification of identifying materials and information. Authentication
               is based on proof of possession of a key or password through a cryptographic protocol.
               Cryptographic strength mechanisms should protect the primary authentication token (a cryptographic
               key) against compromise by the protocol threats, including eavesdropper, replay, online
               guessing, verifier impersonation, and man-in-the-middle attacks. A minimum of two authentication
               factors is required. Three kinds of tokens may be used:

                           &quot;soft&quot; cryptographic token, which has the key stored

               conformance to Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2, Security Requirements
               for Cryptographic Modules, is managed by NIST.
                        
                        Authentication requires that the claimant prove control of the
               token through a secure authentication protocol. The token must be unlocked with a password
               or biometric representation, or a password must be used in a secure authentication protocol,
               to establish two-factor authentication. Long-term shared authentication secrets, if used,
               are never revealed to any party except the claimant and verifiers operated directly by
               the CSP; however, session (temporary) shared secrets may be provided to independent verifiers
               by the CSP. Approved cryptographic techniques are used for all operations.  Assertions

                        High authentication level of assurance indicates that the relying
               party may have very high confidence in the asserted identity's validity. Level 4 is for
               transactions that need very high confidence in the accuracy of the asserted identity.
               Level 4 provides the highest practical assurance of remote network authentication. Authentication
               is based on proof of possession of a key through a cryptographic protocol. This level
               is similar to Level 3 except that only “hard� cryptographic tokens are allowed, cryptographic
               module validation requirements are strengthened, and subsequent critical data transfers
               must be authenticated via a key that is bound to the authentication process. The token
               should be a hardware cryptographic module validated at FIPS 140-2 Level 2 or higher overall
               with at least FIPS 140-2 Level 3 physical security. This level requires a physical token,
               which cannot readily be copied, and operator authentication at Level 2 and higher, and
               ensures good, two-factor remote authentication.
            <br/>  

                        Level 4 requires strong cryptographic authentication of all parties
               and all sensitive data transfers between the parties. Either public key or symmetric key
               technology may be used. Authentication requires that the claimant prove through a secure
               authentication protocol that the claimant controls the token. Eavesdropper, replay, online
               guessing, verifier impersonation, and man-in-the-middle attacks are prevented. Long-term
               shared authentication secrets, if used, are never revealed to any party except the claimant
               and verifiers operated directly by the CSP; however, session (temporary) shared secrets
               may be provided to independent verifiers by the CSP. Strong approved cryptographic techniques
               are used for all operations. All sensitive data transfers are cryptographically authenticated
               using keys bound to the authentication process.   [Summary of the technical requirements

                        Low authentication level of assurance indicates that the relying

               this level, but the authentication mechanism should provide some assurance that the same
               claimant is accessing the protected transaction or data. A wide range of available authentication
               technologies can be employed and any of the token methods of Levels 2, 3, or 4, including
               Personal Identification Numbers (PINs), may be used. To be authenticated, the claimant
               must prove control of the token through a secure authentication protocol. At Level 1,

                        Medium authentication level of assurance indicates that the relying
               party may have high confidence in the asserted identity's validity.  Level 3 is appropriate
               for transactions that need high confidence in the accuracy of the asserted identity. Level
               3 provides multifactor remote network authentication. At this level, identity-proofing
               procedures require verification of identifying materials and information. Authentication
               is based on proof of possession of a key or password through a cryptographic protocol.
               Cryptographic strength mechanisms should protect the primary authentication token (a cryptographic
               key) against compromise by the protocol threats, including eavesdropper, replay, online
               guessing, verifier impersonation, and man-in-the-middle attacks. A minimum of two authentication
               factors is required. Three kinds of tokens may be used:

                        
                           &quot;soft&quot; cryptographic token, which has the key stored
               on a general-purpose computer, 
                           &quot;hard&quot; cryptographic token, which has the key stored
               on a special hardware device, and 
                           &quot;one-time password&quot; device token, which has symmetric
               key stored on a personal hardware device that is a cryptographic module validated at FIPS
               140-2 Level 1 or higher. Validation testing of cryptographic modules and algorithms for
               conformance to Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2, Security Requirements
               for Cryptographic Modules, is managed by NIST.
                        
                        Authentication requires that the claimant prove control of the
               token through a secure authentication protocol. The token must be unlocked with a password
               or biometric representation, or a password must be used in a secure authentication protocol,

                        High authentication level of assurance indicates that the relying
               party may have very high confidence in the asserted identity's validity. Level 4 is for
               transactions that need very high confidence in the accuracy of the asserted identity.
               Level 4 provides the highest practical assurance of remote network authentication. Authentication
               is based on proof of possession of a key through a cryptographic protocol. This level
               is similar to Level 3 except that only “hard� cryptographic tokens are allowed, cryptographic
               module validation requirements are strengthened, and subsequent critical data transfers
               must be authenticated via a key that is bound to the authentication process. The token
               should be a hardware cryptographic module validated at FIPS 140-2 Level 2 or higher overall
               with at least FIPS 140-2 Level 3 physical security. This level requires a physical token,
               which cannot readily be copied, and operator authentication at Level 2 and higher, and
               ensures good, two-factor remote authentication.

                        Level 4 requires strong cryptographic authentication of all parties
               and all sensitive data transfers between the parties. Either public key or symmetric key
               technology may be used. Authentication requires that the claimant prove through a secure
               authentication protocol that the claimant controls the token. Eavesdropper, replay, online
               guessing, verifier impersonation, and man-in-the-middle attacks are prevented. Long-term
