!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] ([MCA]) is a method of [Multi-Factor Authentication] where one or more the [Authentication Factors] involved are communicated over separate [communication|Telecommunications] [channel]s or [protocols].
The concept is that an [Attacker] would be challenged to determine:
* which channels are being used
* the timing differences of the separate channels would be more difficult to intercept
* requires knowledge on determining the weakness of each channel
This implies for an [attacker] to gain access to the user's account, all involved [channels] must be compromised, which requires a greater [Attack Effort]
Generally, [{$pagename}] implies a higher [Level Of Assurance] for [Authentication].
!! [{$pagename}] and [Multi-Factor Authentication]
Generally, [{$pagename}] and [Multi-Factor Authentication] is stronger than either of the separate practices.
