Abstract
Multiple factor authentication in an identity certificate service is disclosed. A certificate including a cryptographically-obscured identifier associated with the end entity is sent from an end entity to a service node. The service node uses both the certificate and the identifier to authenticate the end entity at least in part by comparing the identifier to a reference identifier. A service associated with the service node is accessed based at least in part on the authentication.
