Zusammenfassung:	Described are techniques for a multi-factor authentication (MFA) protocol that encrypts a factor using a public key of an identity certificate issued to a user. The techniques include receiving a request for a factor of an MFA protocol from a user-device. The techniques further include generating an encrypted factor using a public key of an identity certificate issued to a user of the user-device. The techniques further include sending the encrypted factor to the user-device to allow the user-device to obtain the factor by decrypting the encrypted factor using a private key that corresponds to the public key. The techniques further include receiving the factor from the user-device and verifying that the factor received from the user-device is a same factor used to generate the encrypted factor.
