When identifying, you are not always identifying that the individual is a particular person, you are identifying if the person is of a particular group.
Authentication | Identification Type | Why |
---|---|---|
something_the_person_knows | Group identification | because knowledge can be shared |
something_the_person_has | Group identification | because something can be copied (a key for instance) |
something_the_person_is | Person Identification |
To mitigate and identify the person further, you may implement - Multi-Factor Authentication (Mfa / 2fa)
