A means for recognition. Evidence that an item is the same as something claim ed, described or specified. [D02827] RMW
control process using a unique identifier to determine whether the specific user is known to the system.
The one-to-many (1:N) process of comparing a biometric sample against all biometric templates in a system to determine if there is a match with any of the samples on file. Answers the questions: “Who is this? Is this person already known to the system under a different identity
the process of recognizing something or someone by remembering; "a politician whose recall of names was as remarkable as his recognition of faces"; "experimental psychologists measure the elapsed time from the onset of the stimulus to its recognition by the observer"
a simple, cost-effective, and unique solution in case of a tragedy in high risk occupations
The process of uniquely describing an entity or person. For example, I am one of at least three Jeff Silvermans, but I am the only one with my social security number. My name does not uniquely identify me (if you don't believe me, ask Bill Jones or John Smith). My username uniquely identifies me in the space of my computer systems. Compare with authentication and Authorization
Recognizing users on a company's system by using unique names.
Also known as one-to-many or 1:n comparison. Authentication mode that compares the current biometric data set against all other reference data of persons previously recorded in the system. This method does not require any accompanying information to be provided with the fingerprint. It is user-friendly but inherently slower and less secure than the verification mode.
The process that enables recognition by the system such as providing a username.
Designation of a road location, a vehicle, a person, or a traffic accident in such a manner as to positively distinguish it from all others of the same description. Identification is often accomplished by a unique number such as a vehicle identification number, registration number, or driver's license number.
The one-to-many process of comparing a submitted biometric sample against all of the biometric reference templates on file to determine whether it matches any of the templates and, if so, the identity of the enrolee whose template was matched. The biometric system using the one-to-many approach is seeking to find an identity amongst a database rather than verify a claimed identity. Contrast with 'Verification'.
1:N, one-to-many, recognition. The process of determining a person's identity by performing matches against multiple biometric templates.
The unique data, e.g. name, number or code, determining a certain object or person.
The process by which a device or a system could perform matches against many persons (1:n, one to many) to set up a strong relation between a person and a template, an image or some data.
(voir Identification) (A) A security practice or a technology associated with users, groups, or other entities with one or many identifiers. (B) Recognition of users, groups and other entities by means of identifiers.
Any mechanism used to uniquely identify a user or a set of privileges on a system. Identification can be likened to a key. Access control can be likened to a lock. Both the key and lock must match in order to gain access.
The procedure allowing recognition of an entity by a system, by and large by utilizing a unique machine-readable user name, with a "Digital ID", such as a secure server using SSL validation.
recognition of a stimulus as a particular thing – i.e. recognising its identity.
Each aircraft can be identified on the radar screen through the unique transponder code attributed to it. (– Transponder)
The process that enables recognition of an entity by a system, generally by the use of unique machine-readable user names.
