The requirements for the level of certainty at both ends of that set of transactions should be driven by a risk assessment based on the value of the resources being protected. This session will describe the concept of LoA, discuss its importance, outline its technical components, and discuss the proposition that roles of the identity management and security staff are critical for a successful implementation of LoA.</p> Access Control Authentication Authorization Identity Management Security Risk Assessment and Analysis Contributed by EDUCAUSE Grant Programs (CAMP) Presentations/Speeches Thu, 21 Feb 2008 12:11:06 -0600 drupal 46242 at http://connect.educause.edu
