Abstract
Based on the analysis and classification of identity factors in application systems, this paper designs a method of quantifying multi factors and an arithmetic of evaluation mechanism. It also adopts the example of application system to evaluate authentication intensity (means the degree of authentication, i.e. strong or weak authentication) and its cost. And the results of the application testify the method is applicable.
