What does the KBA Decision Node check?

1. If the user is authenticated

2. If KBA questions meet the required minimum

3. If the answers provided are correct

4. If the session has expired

The correct answer is: If KBA questions meet the required minimum

The KBA Decision Node specifically examines whether the knowledge-based authentication (KBA) questions meet the established minimum criteria necessary for verification. In the context of authentication workflows, KBA is used to add an extra layer of security by requiring users to answer specific questions based on information only they should know. This node is crucial because it ensures that the authentication process is robust and adheres to the defined standards for minimum question quality or quantity. If the KBA questions do not meet these minimum requirements, the authentication process may need to be adjusted or halted, potentially prompting the user to provide better responses or seek an alternative method of verification. This helps maintain the integrity of the authentication process, ensuring that users are sufficiently verified before gaining access to sensitive information or services. In contrast, while user authentication, correctness of answers, and session validity are certainly important considerations within an authentication workflow, they fall outside the specific scope of what the KBA Decision Node directly evaluates.
