F Factor application???

AttributeX: Some later detailed attributes could come here.

AttributeY: Some later detailed attributes could come here.

F_USERINFO User provides user information

In order to request an additional factor the user provides user information. There are multiple options to realize this subactivity, e.g.: Using federated login, dropping an e-mail, showing up at an registration desk, etc.

(Optional) I_SCHEDULING Identification session arrangement and scheduling

I_VET Vet Identity of User

#short description

I_VET_???

Compare claimed/transmitted/spoken information with user's identity proof (e.g. ID doc, activation code)

I_VET_LIVENESS Perform Liveness Check

(e.g. ID doc photo vs. real life face/ selfie)

(Optional) I_VET_SOURCE

Check user's identity proof with its original source for validity (not expired, retired,..)

I_VET_RECORD Record Identity Proof

#short description

B Binding

Establishment of a binding between identity and factor

AttributeX: Some later detailed attributes could come here.

AttributeY: Some later detailed attributes could come here.

(Optional) F?_SUBACTIVITY DEFINED AT: F?

Selection of a particular token takes places after identity vetting. Besides the selection by the user an assignment by e.g. the registration desk is possible, too.

B_DIGITALID Bind factor to digital ID

#short description

(Optional) F?_SUBACTIVITY DEFINED AT: F?

Token-proof of-possession (e.g. test authentication). in case preregistration took place, make sure the tokens match

B_ACTIVATE Activate Binding Between Digital ID and New Factor

#short description

B_RECORD Create Record of Binding

#short description

B_CONFIRMATION Inform User about Factor Activation

#short description

V Verification

Short description

V_SUBACTIVITY Another subactivity that belongs here but is often seen as something closely related or used by other activity. It naturally primarily belongs here
