2.2.1 Permitted Authenticator Types

At AAL2, authentication SHALL use either a multi-factor authenticator or a combination of two separate authentication factors. A multi-factor authenticator requires two factors to execute a single authentication event, such as a cryptographically secure device with an integrated biometric sensor that is required to activate the device. Authenticator requirements are specified in Sec. 3.

When a multi-factor authenticator is used, any of the following MAY be used:

When a combination of two single-factor authenticators is used, the combination SHALL include one physical authenticator (i.e., “something you have”) from the following list in conjunction with either a password (Sec. 3.1.1) or a biometric comparison:

A biometric characteristic is not recognized as an authenticator by itself. Section 3.2.3 requires a physical authenticator to be authenticated along with a biometric comparison. The physical authenticator then serves as “something you have,” while the biometric match serves as “something you are.” When a biometric comparison is used as an activation factor for a multi-factor authenticator, the authenticator itself serves as the physical authenticator. As noted in that section, local verification of biometric factors (i.e., the use of a multi-factor authenticator with a biometric comparison as an activation factor) is preferred over central biometric factor comparison.
