AQUA - A Modular Authentication Quality Modeling Framework
AQUA proposes a modular framework for systematically measuring authentication quality across solution types — useful for security architects benchmarking zero-trust implementations.

arXiv:2611.05660v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Authentication solutions are the key design, architectural, and implementation decisions that implement authentication security controls. An example is a password-based authentication solution. While researchers often examine authentication quality, existing approaches do not distinguish which effects on quality stem from which aspect of authentication. For example, multi-factor authentication solutions tend to be less usable because they combine
Editorial Analysis
Standardised authentication quality metrics could help enterprises make more defensible design choices as they implement zero-trust architectures under NIS2 expectations.
Apply the AQUA methodology to evaluate and compare your current authentication solutions during zero-trust architecture reviews.
