Awarded for completing User Authentication Protocols and passing its exam, demonstrating the ability to evaluate and choose among password, multi-factor, Kerberos, federated and passkey-based authentication methods and recognize their common failure modes.
Certificates are designed to be checked, not just displayed.
The credential is valid for 12 months from issue. Its public page states the expiry date, and renewing means passing the current exam again — so the credential always reflects the current material.
