'''Knowledge-based authentication''', commonly referred to as '''KBA''', is a method of [[authentication]] which seeks to prove the identity of someone accessing a service such as a financial institution or website. As the name suggests, KBA requires the knowledge of [[Personal data|private information]] of the individual to prove that the person providing the identity information is the owner of the identity. There are two types of KBA: ''static KBA'', which is based on a pre-agreed set of shared secrets, and ''dynamic KBA'', which is based on questions generated from a wider base of personal information.
