regify supported authentication levels

Today, in addition to no authentication, the available levels are 1,3,5,7 and 9. The remaining levels are reserved for future use. The levels are defined as follows:

level description or example
1 The user contacted the regify-provider verbally by telephone and made his identity credible (social barrier).
3 The user sent or faxed a copy of his identification card to the regify-provider. In case of an organisation, the user sent a copy of the identification card of the manager or a copy of the business registration / certificate of registration.
5 - The details of the user are checked against a public directory (eg telephone directory).

- The regify-provider already has an existing, long business relationship with the user.

- The regify-provider personally knows the user.

7 - The user personally verified his identity to the regify-provider (eg personally showing identification card).

- The user is employed by the regify-provider.

9 The user has been authenticated by a legally accepted authentication procedure like PostIDENT (germany), Ident.Brief (austria), Die Gelbe Identifikation (switzerland) etc.
