This layer comprises the static (HTML) content and interacts directly with the user over a network or the Internet.

This layer serves the CA AuthID Client (Java, Flash, or Native) to the end user’s browser. CA AuthID Client interacts with Strong Authentication Server for user authentication. It collects the CA AuthID password, signs the challenge, and then sends the signed challenge to the Strong Authentication Server for verification.

Note: See the CA CA AuthID Client Reference Guide for information about the CA AuthID Client.
