There has been some good discussion around our IBM security team as to what actually constitutes SSH multi factor authentication. There are 2 options being discussed. One, the Google Authenticator (OTP authentication). Two, Public/Private key authentication (pubkeyauthentication = yes) which supports pass phrase private key authentication. Which of these is considered multi-factor authentication and can you give a brief response? There are different opinions here and your opinion is greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Bruce F.
