10.3 of X.518, item n) says:

 

n)   authenticationLevel component is optionally supplied when it is
required to indicate the manner in which authentication has been carried
out. The AuthenticationLevel data type is described in ITU-T Rec. X.501 |
ISO/IEC 9594-2.

 

There are several question that could be asked:

 

1)      Under what more specific condition is this component required?

2)      How does the DSA adding this component know what the performing DSA
requires, e.g. for access control?

3)      How do the different authentication methods rank with respect to
each other?
