I am very supportive of this work and have been working through different use cases to see whether it can satisfy the requirements that arise from them.
One observation from working through these uses cases is that as customers move to Zero Trust architectures, we are seeing customers adopting finer grained policy segmentation. Consequently customers are planning to deploy segmented access control by data or action sensitivity, within a service. This approach to policy design makes it more common for a single service to depend on multiple authentication context values or combinations of authentication context values. An example of this is a policy that has multiple acr values (e.g. acr1=password, acr2=FIDO, acr3=selfie check, acr4=trusted network). A customer may define a policy that requires different combinations of these acr values, for example, a file server may requires password for general access (e.g. acr1), FIDO authentication (acr2) or password access and being on a trusted network to read sensitive data (acr 2 of (acr1 + acr 4), FIDO authentication and password (acr1 + acr2) for accessing editing sensitive documents and a real-time selfie check on top of FIDO and presence on a trusted network (acr1 + acr2 + acr3 + acr4) to initiate a sensitive workflow (e.g. check-in code). Other variations of this includes database access with different types of access requirement for certain rows (row-level permissions) or columns (column level permissions) with different combinations of acr values. I was curious if this type of scenario where multiple authentication contexts and combinations of contexts are required is something others see (or are beginning to see) as well?
