Definition

International Definitions

IAEA

Authentication is the provision of assurance that a claimed characteristic of an entity is correct. [1]



National Definitions

France

L’authentification a pour but de vérifier l’identité dont une entité se réclame. [2]

Généralement l’authentification est précédée d’une identification qui permet à cette entité de se faire reconnaître du système par un élément dont on l’a doté. En résumé, s’identifier c’est communiquer son identité, s’authentifier c’est apporter la preuve de son identité.

Georgia

Authentication is the process of verifying and securing the identity of a user or a program when accessing electronically secured data and systems or when performing communication processes. [3]

In the authentication process, a certain attribute of a user or system certifies authorized access to such systems or data, for example, a key (see public key cryptography), a smart card, a password, the user name or even biometrical traits (fingerprint). A higher security level can be achieved by the combination of different traits used for authentication.

Italy

Autenticazione: Verifica dell’identità o di altre caratteristiche di un utente, di un dispositivo o di una procedura ovvero dell’originatore e dell’integrità dei dati. [4]

Costituisce spesso una condizione per accedere ai sistemi informativi e di comunicazione. A tal fine vengono frequentemente impiegati metodi che associano vari strumenti di riconoscimento, quali dati biometrici, tesserini identificativi, password, etc.

Oman

Authentication is the process of confirming the correctness of the claimed identity. [5]



United States

NIST
Verifying the identity of a user, process, or device, often as a prerequisite to allowing access to resources in an information system. [6]



International Standard

IETF
Authentication: The process of verifying an identity claimed by or for a system entity. [7]



ISO/IEC

Authentication is a process that is used to confirm that a claimed characteristic of an entity is actually correct. To authenticate is to verify that a characteristic or attribute that appears to be true is in fact true. [8]
