ArcotID PKI Features
The important features of the ArcotID PKI credential are as follows:
- An ArcotID PKI can be accessed only with the correct password.
- ArcotID PKI authentication uses a challenge-response authentication protocol. During authentication, a client application on the end user's device signs the challenge with the end user’s private key. The signed challenge is then sent to the Advanced Authentication Server for verification.
- A plausible response is generated for every password that is entered, even if the password is incorrect.
- The validity period for the ArcotID PKI credential is configurable.
