Factor related activties
Subactivity | User provides user information / New Factor request | Label | |
Short description | In order to request a second factor the user provides user information. There are multiple options to realize this subactivity, e.g.: Using federated login, dropping an e-mail, showing up at an registration desk, etc. | ||

Example realization options
| Federated Login |
Short description | Federated login is used to provide user information |
Input | User information (e.g. name, email, organization) typically via a SAML assertion |
Output | Factor request |

Drawbacks/Risks |
| Activity | Subactivity | Subsubactivity | Mapping I (Identity/Identification) F (Factor) → 1F if first factor, 2F if second factor | Mandatory/optional?

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| FRq 1) 2FA token request | 1.0) Should we have a first factor authentication subactivity here as a gatekeeper for "User provides user info" FRq.UI 1.1) User provides user info | F_request (e.g. 2F_request if second factor is requested) | mandatory | user information (e.g. name, email, organization, e.g. via SAML assertion) | token request |

| FReg 2) 2FA (pre-)registration | FReg.Sel 2.1) User selects factor | N/A, see F_select | optional | ||||||
FReg.Authc 2.2) User performs authentication with that factor for binding and to prove possession/knowledge/... | N/A, see F_authenticate | optional | |||||||
| Ident 3) Identification (eligibility check;identity vetting using ID doc or alternative identity assertion method;unsure match of the person and her digital identity) | Ident.Sched 3.0) Identification session arrangement and scheduling (!optional) | I_schedule | |||||||

| Ident.UVet.IDVal 3.3.3) Check user's identity proof with its original source for validity | I_vet_originalSource | optional | ↓ | ||||||
| Ident.UVet.Rec 3.3.4) Record identity proof (par of ID doc, or just note success???) | I_record | ||||||||
| FBind 4) Token binding | FBind.Poss 4.1) User chooses own token or handover of token to user (possession) | F_select | optional when activity 2 took place | ||||||
