Authentication

Ensures that the card is the entity claimed. Typically provided by digital signatures.

Nonrepudiation

Makes the actions performed by the cardholder in an electronic transaction nonrevocable so that they are legally binding. Typically provided by digital signatures.

• Data integrity

Ensures that the information exchanged in an electronic transaction is not alterable without detection. Typically provided by digital signatures.

• Confidentiality

Keeps the data involved in an electronic transaction private. Typically provided by encryption.

reference: Authentication and Identification - by Stephen Downes

Identification

Act of claiming a given identity, where an identity is a set of one or more signs signifying a distinct entity.

Authentication

Act of verifying that identity, where a verification consists in establishing, to the satisfaction of the verifier, that the sign signifies the entity.

reference: ADAPID project - Authentication and identification

Identification

Identification is the process of using claimed or observed attributes of an entity to deduce who the entity is.
Also sometimes referred to as "entity authentication"

Authentication

Authentication is the corroboration of a claimed set of attributes or facts with a specified, or understood, level of confidence. Authentication serves to demonstrate the integrity and origin of what is being pretended.

Data Authentication

Data authentication is the corroboration that the origin and integrity of data is as claimed.

Entity Authentication

• Entitiy authentication is the corroboration of claimed (partial) identity of an entity and a set of its observed attributes
• A process whereby one party is assured of the identity of a second party involved in a protocol, and the second has actually participated.
• (from Handbook applied crypto) the procses whereby one party is assued (through acquisition of corroborative evidence) of the identity of a second party involved in a protocol, and that the second has actually participated (i.e., is active at, or immediately prior to, the time the evidence is acquired)

Data Integrity

(from Handbook applied crypto) the property whereby data has not been altered in an unauthorized manner since the time is was created, transmitted, or stored by an authorized source.

Data origin authentication

(from Handbook applied crypto) type of authentication whereby a party is corroborated as the (original) source of specified data created as some (typically unspecified) time in the past. (by definition, this includes data integrity)

4-Step Security Model (firewall)

1. Authentication (who are you)
2. Authorization (what are you allowed to do)
3. Availability (Is the data accessible)
4. Authenticity (Is the data intact)

→ may had step 0) Admissibility (Network admission / source endpoint control to determine that the device is free of malware, like keylogger)
