The concept of an international standardized set of values for LOA
is something I was grumbling about last week offline. The NIST
guidelines are very useful, but are they international enough? I
think this is a useful concept to poke at, tho' perhaps not on the
original thread.
When last I looked (a couple of years ago, now) the draft Australian
standards were similar (but different!) to the NIST ones. In the
AAF's schema, we opted for the NIST ones, but have borrowed from the
Kantara/Liberty implementation framework in setting out the
procedures required (eg for level 2 - see
http://www.aaf.edu.au/technical/levels-of-assurance/). The NIST ones
were really not specific enough, as I think David has often said...
Cheers, Alex.
