Optional factor (token) preregistration and binding with the request. If the applicant is expected to possess a token at the time of application and initiation; alternatively, this can be done during the vetting phase.
I_ARRANGE_VETTING (optional)
...
- Creation of a (secret) code to be used at the start of vetting procedure to identify the vetting request or the new factor used during initiation (C_USE_NEW_FACTOR).
- If e-mail is used for vetting arrangement, get applicant's e-mail address (e.g. from the IdP account data) or from the applicant.
- Optional location selection and/or scheduling of the vetting appointment, only if the load or the policy of the service (desk) require this.
- Provide vetting details over e-mail or through the application, with code in text or QR, email validation link, instructions, vetting application link, service desk contacts, address and appointment details, and whatever else is needed.
- Optional e-mail validation, if e-mail is required for further interaction, and if a valid e-mail address is not already accessible and assured/guaranteed from the IdP data provided upon the previously performed login with the existing factor (C_USE_EXISTING_FACTOR).
...
- Vetting may be rejected and applicant turned back if the applicant is not eligible (any more) or if the queue is too long or the necessary resources, staff or involved key services are not available at this point.
- Restoring of the information and context established during initiation may include C_USE_EXISTING_FACTOR or use of previously created code to identify the vetting request or the factor used during initiation.
- If the validity of e-mail address is considered significant, a code or link may be used to make sure that the applicant's e-mail is valid and can be accessed by her.
- This setting up of the context of the applicant's request may be done by restoring it after the applicant, service or desk operator uses the code issued during the initiation. The code that links the applicant with the original application is particularly useful when the applicant does not possess or know the first factor (which may require V_CREATE_DIGITAL_IDENTITY) and is not able to perform C_USE_EXISTING_FACTOR.
- If some time has passed since initiation, it may be necessary to perform C_CHECK_ELIGIBILITY again, as the applicant situation with her organisation may have changed in the meantime. This check could be done based on performed C_USE_EXISTING_FACTOR or the verbally provided identifying information, which, in the case of human-to-human interaction may be a softer start of vetting than to immediately demand V_PRESENT_PROOF.
...
Optional, if the factor such as token is immediately provided, e.g. by the service desk. Like I_FACTOR_DELIVERY, it can also include an immediate monetary transaction. Recording of handover is probably unnecessary, as the service/operator is in the possession of a proof (it was obtained with V_PRESENT_PROOF), so there is no risk of an irremediable situation or that the applicant would flee with the factor before C_USE_NEW_FACTOR.
...
V_EXTERNAL_CHECK (optional) Check External Validity
Check user's identity proof (e.g. national ID document, employee ID card) against its original source (such as issuing authority) or a register for validity.
Make sure the identity proof is not expired/revoked/invalid/...
Input: user's identity proof
Output: verified identity proof
Effect on LoA: typically higher LoA require this action
V_CHECK_LIVENESS (optional) Perform Liveness Check
In case online identity vetting mechanisms are used (such as video identification, online document upload) a liveness check may be performed to prevent fraud. Otherwise implied by V_CHECK_PROOF conducted with the user.
Example1: Show ID document besides the head to prove ID document and holder match.
Example2: Upload ID document and real-time recorded selfie.
Input: any means that show liveness
Output: liveness verified
V_RECORD_CHECKS (optional) Record Identity Proof
Optional record for audit purposes, typically by recording the last digits of ID doc number (avoid recording excess personal data, photos of the person or ID doc)
For accountability purposes (parts of) the identity proof (e.g. last 6 digits of national ID document) is recorded.
Input: identity proof
Output: record
Effect on LoA: not applicable
C_USE_NEW_FACTOR (optional) DEFINED IN C
Making sure that the applicant knows/possesses/inherits the new factor and is able to use it. Or in case of preregistration make sure that the all performed actions involving the new factor were with the same instance of the factor, as the used token will be bound to digital identity. This step should be performed by the applicant and therefore may take some time to be performed, so could be done by the user in parallel with V_CHECK_PROOF, V_EXTERNAL_CHECK and V_CHECK_LIVENESS. It may be preceded with C_USE_EXISTING_FACTOR it if has not been already performed. This may be avoided if C_USE_NEW_FACTOR was done during initiation.
