3.1.6.1 Single-Factor Cryptographic Authenticators

Single-factor cryptographic authenticators encapsulate one or more authentication keys. Authentication keys are described as either exportable (see Sec. 3.2.13) or non-exportable. Exportable authentication keys (usable at AAL2 or below) SHOULD be stored in appropriate storage that is available to the authenticator (e.g., keychain storage). If they are accessible to the endpoint being authenticated, exportable authentication keys SHALL be strongly protected against unauthorized disclosure with access controls that limit access to the key to only those software components that require access. Non-exportable authentication keys (usable at AAL3 or below) SHALL be stored in an isolated execution environment that is protected by hardware or in a separate processor with a controlled interface to the central processing unit of the user endpoint.

Some cryptographic authenticators, referred to as syncable authenticators, can manage their authentication keys using a sync fabric (e.g., a cloud provider). Additional requirements for using syncable authenticators are in Appendix B.

External (i.e., non-embedded) cryptographic authenticators SHALL meet the requirements for connected authenticators in Sec. 3.2.11.

As required by Sec. 2.3.2, single-factor cryptographic authenticators that are being used at AAL3 must meet the authentication intent requirements of Sec. 3.2.8.
