                 remote network authentication. At this level, identity-proofing procedures require verification
                 of identifying materials and information. Authentication is based on proof of possession
                 of a key or password through a cryptographic protocol. Cryptographic strength mechanisms
                 should protect the primary authentication token (a cryptographic key) against compromise

                 and man-in-the-middle attacks. A minimum of two authentication factors is required. Three

                 asserted identity's validity. Level 4 is for transactions that need very high confidence
                 in the accuracy of the asserted identity. Level 4 provides the highest practical assurance
                 of remote network authentication. Authentication is based on proof of possession of a
                 key through a cryptographic protocol. This level is similar to Level 3 except that only
                 “hard� cryptographic tokens are allowed, cryptographic module validation requirements
                 are strengthened, and subsequent critical data transfers must be authenticated via a key
                 that is bound to the authentication process. The token should be a hardware cryptographic
                 module validated at FIPS 140-2 Level 2 or higher overall with at least FIPS 140-2 Level
                 3 physical security. This level requires a physical token, which cannot readily be copied,
                 and operator authentication at Level 2 and higher, and ensures good, two-factor remote
                 authentication.                          Level 4 requires strong cryptographic authentication
                 of all parties and all sensitive data transfers between the parties. Either public key
                 or symmetric key technology may be used. Authentication requires that the claimant prove
                 through a secure authentication protocol that the claimant controls the token. Eavesdropper,

                 all sensitive data transfer are cryptographically authenticated using keys bound to the
                 authentication process.  Level 4 requires strong cryptographic authentication of all communicating
                 parties and all sensitive data transfers between the parties. Either public key or symmetric
                 key technology may be used. Authentication requires that the Claimant prove through a
                 secure authentication protocol that he or she controls the token. All protocol threats
                 at Level 3 are required to be prevented at Level 4. Protocols shall also be strongly resistant
                 to man-in-the-middle attacks. Long-term shared authentication secrets, if used, are never
                 revealed to any party except the Claimant and Verifiers operated directly by the CSP;
                 however, session (temporary) shared secrets may be provided to independent Verifiers by
                 the CSP. Approved cryptographic techniques are used for all operations. All sensitive
                 data transfers are cryptographically authenticated using keys bound to the authentication
