10、ctrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of tech

11、nical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint techn

12、ical committee, ISO/IEC JTC 1. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of the joint technical committee is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are ci

15、rent state of the art for entity authentication requires the revelation of the identifiable information of an entity being authenticated. In many types of transactions, the entity would prefer to remain anonymous and unlinkable, which means that when two transactions are performed, it is difficult t

16、o distinguish whether the transactions are performed by the same user or two different users. However, in some circumstances there are legitimate reasons to enable subsequent reidentification (e.g., the interest of accountability). The term partially anonymous, partially unlinkable means that an a p

17、riori designated opener, and that designated opener only, can identify the authenticated entity. For example, a library may need to identify an entity that has not returned a borrowed book in order to send a late notice to the entity. Current cryptographic technologies are available to provide parti

18、ally anonymous, partially unlinkable authentication. This International Standard defines a framework and requirements for partially anonymous, partially unlinkable authentication.

The entity or entities that make that selection may va

As the designated opener has the capability of identifying the claimant, the selection of the designated opener and the selection of the transcript of authentication to be provided to the designated opener need to be carefully performed. 2.5 identity set of attributes rel

24、t of authentication record of sequences of exchanged data from a process of authentication 3 General Many cryptographic mechanisms are available and in use today to improve the security of the authentication process. This leads to greater trust when, following a successful authentication, an entity

25、is given appropriate access to protected resources using some authorization process. Note that the details of authorization are out of scope for this standard and thus marked in parentheses. A typical authentication and authorization model includes the following steps (with each step usually includi

26、ng a number of sub-steps, many of which are covered in ISO/IEC 29115): a) Enrollment b) Authentication c) (Authorization) Most cryptographic mechanisms in use today require the revelation of the identifiable information and enable tracking of an entity across transactions. For example, the use of pu

27、blic keys could hide an entitys real name. However, if the same public key or pseudonym is used for multiple authentications, it can be used to link information about the entity across transactions and so build a profile. But complete anonymity and unlinkability may not always be desirable. For exam

28、ple, an entity could use anonymity to escape punishment for exploiting a system. So, while anonymity and unlinkability may be appropriate in some situations, there are cases where it may be necessary to give certain parties the ability to re-identify an entity. To achieve the goal of partially anony

29、mous, partially unlinkable authentication, the process steps now look like: a) Registration/enrollment, including setup to achieve anonymity b) Authentication c) (Authorization) d) Re-identification (when appropriate) 4 Framework For the sake of understanding an overview of the framework, a typical

30、scenario is exemplified, where a claimant begins by enrolling with a service. The service includes an issuer that generates credentials and issues them to the claimants. The claimants then use the credentials for authentication. If the authentication is successful, a transcript of authentication is

31、created. Although it may contain other things, this transcript shall include information necessary to enable re-identification by the designated opener. If re-identification is required, the transcript of authentication is given to the designated opener who, a priori to any transactions, must be est

32、ablished and provided with the necessary cryptographic components required for re-identification. Each system will have its own set of practices and principles for determining when re-identification is appropriate or necessary. Those details are not within the scope of this standard. Principles such

33、 as openness, transparency and notice are explained in ISO/IEC 29100. Every application will have its own requirements so any particular implementation may have variations from the flow described above. For example, the cryptographic-based credentials could be generated by the claimant, rather than

34、the issuer; or credentials may be issued electronically or in person. But such variations do not change the fundamental aspects of the framework. BS ISO/IEC 29191:2012 ISO/IEC 29191:2012(E) ISO/IEC 2012 All rights reserved 3This framework defines a set of roles and operations, which are shown in Fig

35、ure 1. The four roles are: a) Issuer the entity who issues credentials to claimants b) Claimant the entity who will be authenticated by a verifier c) Verifier an entity that checks whether the claimant possesses credentials that are valid d) Designated opener the entity that can re-identify the clai

36、mant Among the above four roles, there are four basic operations in this framework. 1) A process between an issuer and a claimant to perform a credential issuing process. After this process a claimant has a credential. 2) A process for the designated opener to setup the cryptographic information nec

37、essary for re- identification. 3) A process between a claimant and a verifier to perform authentication, which produces a transcript of authentication. Authentication is successful if the verifier can determine that the claimant possesses a valid credential. 4) A process by a designated opener to id

38、entify the claimant from the transcript of authentication, called re-identification. In this process, a designated opener uses the transcript of authentication and may use other information, where appropriate, to enable re-identification Cryptographic information necessary for re- identification Iss

40、012 ISO/IEC 29191:2012(E) 4 ISO/IEC 2012 All rights reserved5 Requirements Partially anonymous, partially unlinkable authentication shall satisfy all requirements described below. a) A claimant shall be authenticated by a verifier without being identifiable by the verifier. For a claimant to remain

41、anonymous to a verifier, the transaction shall not provide any information to identify the claimant, while allowing the verifier to corroborate that the claimant possesses a valid credential. b) The transcript of authentication shall not by itself provide information that can link multiple authentic

42、ation transactions by the same claimant. For a claimant to remain unlinkable to verifiers, the transaction shall not provide any information to link multiple transactions performed by the same claimant. c) The transcript of an authentication shall contain information necessary for the designated ope

43、ner to re- identify the claimant. For the designated opener to be capable of later re-identifying the claimant, the transcript resulting from a successful transaction shall provide information to identify the claimant. Note, the designated opener may use other information, where appropriate, to enab

44、le re-identification. d) The designated opener shall be able to provide evidence that the claimed identity is correct. In order to avoid fraudulent claim(s) by the designated opener, the designated opener shall be able to provide evidence that the procedure for re-identification was properly perform

46、s, conscience, or religion. Due to this sensitivity, borrowers may not want their name linked to the list of books they have borrowed. At the same time, the library may need to associate the title of a borrowed book with the name of the borrower (e.g., if the book is not returned by the due date). P

47、artially anonymous, partially unlinkable authentication can be applied to this scenario. The registration desk librarian (issuer) at the library will provide a membership card and rules for re- identification to an individual (claimant) who would like to borrow books. When the individual wants to bo

48、rrow a book, he/she will present the membership card to the librarian (verifier) who will check that the individual is a member of the library and will perform the book checkout procedure. A transaction record is created and stored in a database so the library can manage and track books on loan. All

49、 individuals remain anonymous in this database, and checkout transactions cannot be linked together. If the individual keeps a book for longer than the allowed borrowing period, the database will notify the head librarian (designated opener) who can determine the name of the borrower for the overdue book and use it to send the individual an appropriate notice.
