Abstract:

   Multi-Factor Authentication has rapidly become a driving requirement
   for any internet based technology that requires authentication.
   While a large number of initiatives are active for providing
   solutions to this requirement for Web Browser based applications that
   can generally support real time human interaction for providing a
   secondary method of identification, legacy protocols such as [IMAP]
   have not yet been revised to provide such support despite being a
   high-risk target for business email compromise, possibly as a result
   of [IMAP] activity generally expecting to be non-interactive in
   nature outside of Webmail logins.

   This document defines an extension to the [IMAP] service protocol
   called "CLIENTID" that an [IMAP] client can provide an additional
   unique identification token prior to standard credentials
   authentication that the server may then apply as an identity
   verification method in a similar manner to other Multi-Factor
   authentication techniques.
