What is KBA-PMP
There is a lack of standard performance metrics regarding the use of knowledge based authentication (KBA) for remote identity proofing. KBA-PMP's goal is to establish standard performance metrics for knowledge based authentication, following a transnational perspective.

KBA-PMP Best Practices
2. Identity solutions will be secure and resilient.

3. Identity solutions will be interoperable.

4. Identity solutions will be cost-effective and easy to use.

OWASP KBA-PMP - Knowledge Based Authentication Performance Metrics Project

Goals - To meet the requirements of the IDESG KBA Solicitation:

KBA PROJECT PHASES (PROPOSAL) Dear KBA collegues, we propose an action plan divided in the following phases:

FIRST PHASE: SCANNING THE MARKET The goal of this first phase, is to understand how KBA is working today (static and dynamic), and how KBA methodologies have been implemented by KBA providers. I think this a good departure point.
 * 1. Footprinting the KBA market providers.
 * 2. Identifying the KBA product providers used by the main market players.
 * 3. Identifying the advantages and drawbacks of KBA provider's methodology.
 * 4. Draw the document's structure.
 * Complete document structure v1
 * 5. Initial Timeline
 * 5. Launch Participant Outreach

SECOND PHASE: DEVELOPMENT Once the advantages and drawbacks of the KBA market have been clearly identified, it would be necessary to have our own platform for testing purposes. This will give us the right perspective about developing a transnational, neutral, secure, and market wise KBA standard. I would also suggest building an open wiki, to get community feedback.
 * 1. Setting an Application for KBA testing purposes.
 * 2. Build an open wiki for community feedback.
 * 3. Test the KBA proposals in our test application.
 * 4. Analyzing the framework in crucial legal areas (such as Dynamic KBA and privacy).

THIRD PHASE: EDITION This phase is very important, as it concerns the text edition. Once all proposals have being tested in our lab, we should translate them into a clear document.
 * 1. Edit the contents of the sources (sources such as the wiki).
 * 2. Release the version 1.0. and license it under the terms of a suitable license.

Initial Overview
 * 1) Survey and research the Global OWASP Community and other networks to identify and recruit appropriate participation.
 * 2) Develop Opinion polls, foundations' research, interviews, perspectives on project, input from communities outside of the networks.
 * 3) Survey and research other standards groups and their interests.
 * 4) Phase I footprinting
 * 5) Phase II Development
 * 6) Phase III Implementation, Lessons Learned, Continuous refinement, Ongoing participation model, etc.
 * 7) Research Licensing models //

How can I participate in your project?
All you have to do is make the Project Leader's aware of your available time to contribute to the project. It is also important to let the Leader's know how you would like to contribute and pitch in to help the project meet it's goals and milestones. There are many different ways you can contribute to an OWASP Project, but communication with the leads is key.

If I am not a programmer can I participate in your project?
Yes, you can certainly participate in the project if you are not a programmer or technical. The project needs different skills and expertise and different times during its development. Currently, we are looking for researchers, writers, graphic designers, and a project administrator.
