Assurance

["Dunker, Mary" <>]

Hi, Russ,

Virginia Tech offers InCommon Bronze and Silver to faculty and staff (not 
undergraduate students) in the form of a multi-factor hardware token. Our 
rationale was two-fold:

We thought the primary user base for Silver would be faculty/staff rather 
than students.
We already had an in-person identity proofing process for the population 
eligible for the tokens; i.e., faculty, staff, and graduate students.

In the future, we may apply for Bronze using our more ubiquitous 
password-based credential, which would accommodate undergraduate students.

I hope this helps.
Mary

Subject: [Assurance] Bronze/Silver/other Account Populations?

What goals have institutions set for Bronze or Silver certification of their 
user populations?  Is your institution planning to have all accounts 
certified for one IAP or certify only some accounts for each IAP?  What was 
the rationale behind the decision?
