Convenient Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for Web Portals & Enterprise Applications | 2009-04-01 | RSA Security |
| As the usage of online portals, SSL VPN applications, and Web Access Management (WAM) products continue to grow, so does the need for strong authentication to protect access to the information contained within them. Providing single-factor authentication, or password only protection, creates a significant security threat to organizations. Single-factor authentication is easily defeated by hackers and can result in a security breach, financial loss, or loss of sensitive data such as Personally Identifiable Information (PII). Concurrently, many IT departments are grappling with business requirements to extend access to enterprise applications to an even broader audience - including vendors, suppliers, partners and customers.

Recommendation on the Credential Numbering Scheme for the FIPS 201 PIV Card Global Unique Identifier | 2009-03-01 | Smart Card Alliance |
| This paper presents a proposal by the Smart Card Alliance Physical Access Council (PAC) on the population of the GUID field found within the Cardholder Unique ID (CHUID) of a PIV card. Past industry submissions to the Physical Access Interagency Interoperability Working Group (PAIIWG), as early as April 2004, recommended that the GUID be in IPv6 address format. The intent was to have an industry-standard numbering schema that is not owned by the federal government, yet yields a number space large enough to avoid collisions within and between domains.
