AAL3 provides very high confidence that the claimant controls authenticators that are bound to the subscriber account. Authentication at AAL3 is based on the proof of possession of a key through the use of a cryptographic protocol along with either an activation factor or a password. AAL3 authentication requires the use of a cryptographic authenticator with a non-exportable private key that provides phishing resistance. Approved cryptographic techniques are required.
