The Social Security Administration's
citizen authentication process enables a new user experience and
access to more electronic services. Authentication is the
foundation for secure, online transactions. Identity authentication
is the process of determining, with confidence, that someone is who
he or she claims to be during a remote, automated session. It
comprises three distinct factors: something you know, something you
have, and something you are. Single-factor authentication uses one
of the factors, and multi-factor authentication uses two or more of
the factors. Social Security's process features credential
issuance, account management, and single- and multi-factor
authentication. We allow our users to maintain one User ID, which
consists of a self-selected Username and Password, to access
multiple Social Security electronic services. This process provides
the means for authenticating users of Social Security's sensitive
electronic services and streamlines access to those services. The
respondents are individuals who choose to use the Internet or
Automated Telephone Response System to conduct business with SSA.
This is an IT Mod Change Request to make non-substantive changes to
help users increase their security to an Identity Assurance Level
#2, and to enhance the authentication for all users, and to
increase the burden due to the new registrations we expect for
users to use the new mySocial Security Supplemental Security Income
Change of Telephone (SSICOT).
