Examples			RSA SecureID, Vasco DigiPassGoogle Authenticator	Gemalto USB Smartcard, Yubikey Smart Card	Duo, Symantec VIP, Okta Verify
UX	Password-less
	Providing uniform, password-free authentication to the enterprise network, remote access, SSO, and web/cloud services.	No passwords means delighted and productive users Standards-based solution that supports enterprise network logon, remote access, SSO, and access to web/cloud services	Typically used as a second factor together with vulnerable passwords Solutions generally support only remote access and access to web applications	Typically used as a second factor together with vulnerable passwords No support for access to web/cloud services	No support for enterprise network logon	Typically used as a second factor with vulnerable passwords No support for enterprise network logon	No support for enterprise network logon when using mobile device-based biometrics
	Hardware free
	No need to carry around (and occasionally misplace) a separate hardware authenticator.	Authenticator runs on the user’s mobile device	Hardware: Need to carry around a separate hardware token Software: Authenticator runs on the user’s mobile device	Need to carry around a separate hardware token Access is enabled only from hosts running device interface software	Authenticator runs on the user’s mobile device	No additional hardware required	No additional hardware required when using mobile device-based biometrics; dedicated hardware required otherwise
	No OTP Typing
	No need to enter one-time code-strings that leads to errors and delays logging in.	Authenticator communicates transparently with service backend –users don’t type in anything	User needs to enter OTP codes	Token middleware communicates with service backend	Authenticator communicates transparently with service backend	User needs to enter OTP codes Frustrating user experience when code arrival is delayed	Sensor middleware communicates with service backend
Security	Resilient to key theft, MITM and phishing
	Tightly securing secrets and authentication tokens against theft and/or interception.	Replaces vulnerable passwords with high-assurance, password-free authentication Provably-secure authentication scheme protects against key/seed theft, phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks	Typically used as a second factor with vulnerable passwords OTP codes are susceptible to phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks	Highly secure when properly implemented	Security tokens can be intercepted	Codes are susceptible to phishing and man-in-the-middle attacks Mobile carrier and/or email accounts used for authentication can be easily compromised	Lost biometric credential can never be recovered Compromised mobile devices and colluding hardware manufacturers can undermine biometric data
	Windows domains / network assets protection
	Securing access to the Windows domain and to networked resources from within the domain, to prevent lateral movement.	Support for enterprise network logon Replaces static passwords used for lateral movement once in the network	Typically no support for enterprise network access Static passwords remain a vulnerability once inside the network	PKI credential used to access network Static passwords remain a vulnerability once inside the network	Typically no support for enterprise network access Static passwords remain a vulnerability once inside the network	Typically no support for enterprise network access Static passwords remain a vulnerability once inside the network	Typically no support for enterprise network access when using mobile device-based biometrics Static passwords remain a vulnerability once inside the network
	Password phishing, cracking, and pass-the- hash prevention
	So long as passwords remain an authentication credential, alone or in conjunction with another factor of authentication, they can be phished, cracked, or stolen after being hashed (i.e. pass-the-hash).	Replaces vulnerable passwords with high-assurance, password-free authentication Replaces static passwords used for lateral movement once in the network	Typically used as a second factor with vulnerable passwords Static passwords and password hashes remain a vulnerability once inside the network	Typically used as a second factor with vulnerable passwords Static passwords and password hashes remain a vulnerability once inside the network	Typically used as a second factor with vulnerable passwords Static passwords and password hashes remain a vulnerability once inside the network	Typically used as a second factor with vulnerable passwords Static passwords and password hashes remain a vulnerability once inside the network	Typically used as a second factor with vulnerable passwords Static passwords and password hashes remain a vulnerability once inside the network
TCO	No password related support calls
	So long as passwords continue to be used, password management costs continue to be incurred by the customer, irrespective of additional factors of authentication deployed.	No passwords means no costly resets and renewals	Used with passwords, which means customers will continue to incur all associated costs	Used with passwords, which means customers will continue to incur all associated costs	Typically used with passwords, which means customers will continue to incur all associated costs	Typically used with passwords, which means customers will continue to incur all associated costs	Typically used with passwords, which means customers will continue to incur all associated costs
	Easy integration and maintenance
	Standards-based (i.e. LDAP, RADIUS, etc.) integration with other systems and relying parties.	Standards-based solution that works well with 3rd party identity management/access management solutions, remote access and web/cloud access	Supports broadly adopted standards Software: If part of an access management solution, then will likely not support 3rd parties	Requires client software which is hard to install and maintain	Supports broadly adopted standards If part of an access management solution, then will likely not support 3rd parties	Supports broadly adopted standards	Varies by solution architecture and supported standards
	Simple user enrollment
	Straightforward, software-based user onboarding that requires no onerous logistics.	No hardware enrollment and logistics costs No password enrollment	Hardware: Requires physical logistics to get the token to the user Requires provisioning a password	Requires physical logistics to get the token to the user Requires provisioning a password	No hardware enrollment and logistics costs Typically requires provisioning a password	No hardware enrollment and logistics costs Typically requires provisioning a password	Biometric enrollment is notoriously difficult and support-intensive Typically requires provisioning a password
