I think it came off the whiteboard.

I would very much like to rename it, AuthenticationMethod sounds good to me.
I think we should also rename the protocol element in <Authenticator> to be

[We can also change authenticator but that is another story and first
someone needs to come up with a better name, HolderOfKey being worse]
