3.1.2 Look-Up Secrets

A look-up secret authenticator is a physical or electronic record that stores a set of secrets shared between the claimant and the CSP. The claimant uses the authenticator to look up the appropriate secrets needed to respond to a prompt from the verifier. For example, the verifier could ask a claimant to provide a specific subset of the numeric or character strings printed on a card in table format. A typical application of look-up secrets is for one-time saved recovery codes (see Sec. 4.2.1.1) that the subscriber stores for use if another authenticator is lost or malfunctions. A look-up secret is “something you have.”

Look-up secrets are not phishing-resistant.

3.1.2.1 Look-Up Secret Authenticators

CSPs that create look-up secret authenticators SHALL use an approved random bit generator, as described in Sec. 3.2.12, to generate the list of secrets and SHALL deliver the authenticator list securely to the subscriber (e.g., in an in-person session, via an online session, through the postal mail to a contact address). If delivered via an online session, the session SHALL be authenticated by the subscriber at AAL2 or higher and SHALL deliver the secrets through an authenticated protected channel and in accordance with the post-enrollment binding requirements in Sec. 4.1.2. Look-up secrets SHALL be at least six decimal digits (or equivalent) in length. Additional requirements described in Sec. 3.1.2.2 may also apply, depending on their length.

3.1.2.2 Look-Up Secret Verifiers

Verifiers of look-up secrets SHALL prompt the claimant for a secret from their authenticator. A secret from a look-up secret authenticator SHALL be used successfully only once. If the look-up secret is derived from a grid card, each grid cell SHOULD be used only once, which limits the number of authentications that can be accomplished using look-up secrets. A very long list of secrets is potentially required.

Verifiers SHALL store look-up secrets in a form that is resistant to offline attacks. All look-up secrets SHALL be stored in a hashed form using an approved hashing function.

Look-up secrets SHALL be at least six decimal digits (or equivalent) in length, as specified in Sec. 3.1.2.1. Look-up secrets that are shorter than specified lengths have additional verification requirements as follows:

Look-up secrets that are shorter than the minimum security strength specified in the latest revision of [SP800-131A] (i.e., 112 bits as of the date of this publication) SHALL be stored in a salted and hashed form using a suitable password hashing scheme, as described in Sec. 3.1.1.2. The salt value SHALL be at least 32 bits in length and arbitrarily chosen to minimize salt value collisions among stored hashes. Both the salt value and the resulting hash SHALL be stored for each look-up secret.

The verifier SHALL implement a rate-limiting mechanism that effectively limits the number of failed authentication attempts that can be made on the subscriber account, as described in Sec. 3.2.2.

The verifier SHALL use approved encryption and an authenticated protected channel when requesting look-up secrets.
