Definitions
| Type | Definition | Sources |
|---|---|---|
| Noun | The process whereby a network element recognizes a valid user's identity. Authentication is the process of verifying the claimed identity of a user. A user may be a person, a process, or a system (e.g., an operations system or another network element) that accesses a network element to perform tasks or process a call. A user identification code is a non-confidential auditable representation of a user. Information used to verify the claimed identity of a user can be based on a password, Personal Identification Number (PIN), smart card, biometrics, token, exchange of keys, etc. Authentication information should be kept confidential.
