NIST IR 7298 Revision 1, Glossary of Key Information Security Terms IA-Enabled Information Technology Product – Product or technology whose primary role is not security, but which provides security services as an associated feature of its intended operating capabilities. Examples include such products as securityenabled Web browsers, screening routers, trusted operating systems, and security-enabled messaging systems. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 IA-Enabled Product – Product whose primary role is not security, but provides security services as an associated feature of its intended operating capabilities. Note: Examples include such products as security-enabled Web browsers, screening routers, trusted operating systems, and security enabling messaging systems. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Identification – The process of verifying the identity of a user, process, or device, usually as a prerequisite for granting access to resources in an IT system. SOURCE: SP 800-47 Identification – The process of discovering the true identity (i.e., origin, initial history) of a person or item from the entire collection of similar persons or items. SOURCE: FIPS 201 An act or process that presents an identifier to a system so that the system can recognize a system entity (e.g., user, process, or device) and distinguish that entity from all others. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Identifier – Unique data used to represent a person’s identity and associated attributes. A name or a card number are examples of identifiers. SOURCE: FIPS 201 A data object - often, a printable, non-blank character string - that definitively represents a specific identity of a system entity, distinguishing that identity from all others. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Identity – A unique name of an individual person. Since the legal names of persons are not necessarily unique, the identity of a person must include sufficient additional information to make the complete name unique. SOURCE: SP 800-63 Pg 86
NIST IR 7298 Revision 1, Glossary of Key Information Security Terms Identity – The set of physical and behavioral characteristics by which an individual is uniquely recognizable. SOURCE: FIPS 201 The set of attribute values (i.e., characteristics) by which an entity is recognizable and that, within the scope of an identity manager’s responsibility, is sufficient to distinguish that entity from any other entity. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Identity-Based Access Control – Access control based on the identity of the user (typically relayed as a characteristic of the process acting on behalf of that user) where access authorizations to specific objects are assigned based on user identity. SOURCE: SP 800-53; CNSSI-4009 Identity-Based Security Policy – A security policy based on the identities and/or attributes of the object (system resource) being accessed and of the subject (user, group of users, process, or device) requesting access. SOURCE: SP 800-33 Identity Binding – Binding of the vetted claimed identity to the individual (through biometrics) according to the issuing authority. SOURCE: FIPS 201 Identity Proofing – The process by which a Credentials Service Provider (CSP) and a Registration Authority (RA) validate sufficient information to uniquely identify a person. SOURCE: SP 800-63 Identity Proofing – The process of providing sufficient information (e.g., identity history, credentials, documents) to a Personal Identity Verification Registrar when attempting to establish an identity. SOURCE: FIPS 201 Identity Registration – The process of making a person’s identity known to the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) system, associating a unique identifier with that identity, and collecting and recording the person’s relevant attributes into the system. SOURCE: FIPS 201; CNSSI-4009 Identity Token – Smart card, metal key, or other physical object used to authenticate identity. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Pg 87
