Good morning!

The first InCommon Identity Assurance Profile Alternative Means has been published on the InCommon website.

This new Alternative Means document provides an additional way to meet the Silver requirements for 4.2.3 Credential Technology using a multifactor approach.

The Identity Assurance Assessment Framework and Identity Assurance Profiles define specific requirements that Identity Provider Operators must meet in order to be certified in the InCommon Assurance Program. In addition to the specific requirements, the documents allow for the use of equivalent or stronger methods, called alternative means, to satisfy the criteria. Examples include using other authentication technologies or encryption methodologies that are comparable or superior to the requirements stated in the specification documents.

To review the new Alternative Means document, link to the Alternative Means  page.

Best,
Ann
