ITU-T X.1252 PDF

This Recommendation defines a baseline set of terms commonly used in identity management (IdM). The definitions of the terms are basic, i.e., they are intended to convey the basic meaning although a note is exceptionally included when it helps to clarify the definition. The rationale for some of the key terms and definitions is included in Annex A.

NOTE – The use of the term "identity" in this Recommendation relating to IdM does not indicate its absolute meaning. In particular, it does not constitute any positive validation of a person.
