DoD uses multi-factor authentication NIST did something very unusual in June, issuing a publication (SP 800-171) directed solely at non-Federal information systems, which is another term for contractor owned networks. The controls are derived from many of the same FISMA and FIPS regulations that have been imposed on government networks, particularly DoD networks, for several years. Many of these requirements, and the technologies needed to support them, are expensive and labor intensive to implement, support, and maintain. Need an example? DoD uses multi-factor authentication, requiring ID cards to perform double duty of physical and network access, along with digital signatures and email encryption. While a prominent security leader at Google received notice for declaring “passwords are dead” a little less than two years ago, most of the US military realized this long ago and started shifting to ID cards with 2048-bit encryption back in 2008.
