Hi all I wanted to raise from my day job in the financial services that there are a lot of concerns around this SC. Europe and the UK have laws specifying 2 levels of authentication which must be different types for certain digital financial tasks. We are working through aligning these but there is push back as it significantly reduces authentication options. There can also be requirements for time limitations on methods. It would be useful for the understanding document to include some of these examples. Without these financial services and banks are likely to not implement this SC due to security and regulatory requirements. I will try to join tomorrow’s call but it may be worth having a separate discussion as this is wider than COGA requirements.
