Scope
This part of ISO/IEC 9798 specifies entity authentication mechanisms which use security techniques. These mechanisms are used to corroborate that an entity is the one that is claimed. An entity to be authenticated proves its identity by showing its knowledge of a secret. The mechanisms are defined as exchanges of information between entities and, where required, exchanges with a trusted third party.
The details of the mechanisms and the contents of the aut hentication exchanges are not specified in this part of ISO/IEC 9798 but in the following parts of this multi-part International Standard.
