Re: [DG-IDPro] the need to develop a common vocabulary

The UNCITRAL (United Nations Commission of International Trade Law) has posted a set of documents around "Legal issues related to identity management and trust services" from several member nations within Working Group IV - Electronic Commerce http://www.uncitral.org/uncitral/en/commission/working_groups/4Electronic_Co...

They are freely available from ITTF site[1], unlike most ISO standards. [1] Requirements for attribute-based unlinkable entity authentication Please note that ISO terms and definitions are unlike most conventional "definitions". To start with, the terms are actually the abbreviation for the "definition (text)" so that terms in the main text are to be replaced by the definition and readable after the replacement. Conventional sense of definition often is actually done in the main text as "clauses title" and the paragraphs that follow. Another important thing to note about ISO/IEC 24760-1 is that their term is a bit unconventional as it is trying to break away from the baggage that the common terms like "IdP" carry. So, I can expect a very negative impression on a first-time reader. But if you actually examine it, it is quite a good read though the models are a bit old. (What do you expect to ISO? Note - I am the head of the delegate for the WG from the Japanese National Body, and because of this conventionalism and oldness of the model, we have voted negatively to the standard. We are one of only a handful of negative voters (besides USA) but I am still saying this.) When we talk about Identity, we just cannot ignore the relationship to privacy. That is because of "identity", when defined as "set of attributes related to an entity", is in fact personal data if the entity is a living natural person. ISO/IEC 29100 Privacy framework is a standard that is endorsed by over 50 countries and such liaison organization like Article 29 Working Party (of EU). This standard is much less controversial than 24760-1. In fact, it has almost universal support from those countries. It probably is a good idea to take into account as well. --- Nat Sakimura Research Fellow, Nomura Research Institute Chairman of the Board, OpenID Foundation On 2017-04-12 23:53, Sarah Squire wrote: I'm a co-author on the rewrite of NIST 800-63, and it does define a vocabulary.

Unfortunately NIST 800-63 doesn't define a vocabulary, life would be nice if it did. As such everyone is tempted to use the descriptions in NIST 800-63 and invent their own vocabulary values. This is not helpful to drive interoperability, but it is done out of desperation. The sticky part is that although NIST 800-63 defines categories; they recognize that there is still operational facts that are necessary before one really understands what LoA "4" means. I think it is this that keeps NIST from declaring vocabulary. They recognize that their specification doesn't control enough space to assure that "4" means the same thing to everyone. Thus organizations like SAFE-Biopharma (which covers a very specific part of healthcare not including actual treatment...). They have been doing identity proofing for a long time in their space. They are embracing being more open, and leveraging standards more.

The healthcare space has two primary communities of actors: the healthcare provider and the patient. Healthcare providers are physicians, therapists, nurses, etc. As such they are typically licensed to practice and they are employees or credentialed by a hospital or similar organization to provide their services at certain facilities. As such these people have established attributes such as email addresses, license numbers and federal identifiers (National Provider ID, DEA#, etc.). They are also adults. Patients on the other hand range in age from birth to >100 yrs. old, may or may not have an email address and certainly aren't credentialed to be a patient nor do they have a national ID number (at least not in the U.S.) The align biopharma "standard" makes sense for providers working in life sciences since that set of individuals all share those common attributes. Notice also that the stakeholders that developed this open standard are all pharma companies. Pardon the pun, but their standards are highly prescriptive to the set of individuals and the purpose that drives the need for identity/authentication.

The following from a NIST workshop held in Jan 2016: _DEVELOP A COMMON LEXICON.__ Many participants identified a lack of standardized terminology regarding identity proofing processes and functions. For example, some attendees used the term "verification" while others preferred "validation" for the same process. For the purposes of NIST's work, attendees suggested a common vocabulary should be developed to help ensure consistency in the framework and across communities, and that the taxonomy be aligned to the best extent possible with existing schemes._ http://csrc.nist.gov/publications/drafts/nistir-8103/nistir_8103_draft.pdf [4] Catherine Schulten VP of Product Management - OrangeHook, Inc. / LifeMed ID 3009 Douglas Blvd., STE 200, Roseville, CA 95661 Direct: 954-290-1991tel:954-290-1991 [1] Website [5]| LinkedIn [6]| Facebook [7]| Twitter [8]| YouTube [9] IMPORTANT NOTICE: This e-mail communication may contain confidential or legally privileged information and is intended to be received only by persons entitled to receive the confidential information it may contain.
