What does advanced authentication entail for cellular devices used for CJI data?

Advanced authentication for cellular devices used for Criminal Justice Information (CJI) data is designed to provide a more robust layer of security than basic measures. This includes multi-layered security measures which involve several methods or factors that verify the identity of users accessing sensitive data.

Such measures may include the use of passwords, biometric identification (like fingerprints or facial recognition), and possibly additional verification methods such as security tokens or two-factor authentication. The goal is to ensure that unauthorized users cannot access sensitive CJI information, thereby protecting the integrity and confidentiality of the data.

In contrast, basic password protection alone does not meet the standards necessary for CJI data access as it can be easily compromised. Open access for all users would completely undermine data security, allowing anyone to access sensitive information regardless of their authority, which is unacceptable. Unverified user entry would similarly pose significant risks, as it allows access without proper authentication checks, opening the door to potential data breaches and misuse. Therefore, multi-layered security measures are critical for individuals and organizations handling CJI data on cellular devices.
