Hi Stefan,

We just published a short paper on Two-Factor Authentication: Lessons Learned with input from several campuses. This 
may not directly address the questions listed below, but might have some useful information. Contributing 
authors/campuses are listed in the Acknowledgements section.

Subject: [SECURITY] MFA Student Deployment Questions


We are trying to finalize our MFA student deployment plans.  We have received some interesting questions.  We are 
interested in how your campus managed student deployment (we are partway through our faculty/staff deployment).  I 
would appreciate a response to the following questions.


  1.  What methodology did you use to deploy MFA to students, incremental based on a variable or everyone at once?
  2.  Does your university provide students with hard tokens? If so, do the students have to pay for the token? How 
much?
  3.  How to you manage accessibility issues for students with disabilities?
  4.  How do you handle situations where students can not take a device into a proctored testing lab?  Did faculty have 
concerns about raising test anxiety for students? How were they addressed.
  5.  Are you handling student registration differently than faculty and staff?  Please provide the link to any public 
documentation describing student enrollment.

I appreciate your responses.

Sincerely – Stefan Wahe
