Abstract
A method for authenticating an identity involves first receiving a first credential over a first communications channel, and determining a second communications channel provisionally associated with the first credential. The second communications channel is different from the first communications channel, and the first credential is provisionally associated with an identity. Then, a second credential is received over the second communications channel, and the identity is authenticated based on a verification of the second credential.
