  "definition": "1. The process of making a person’s identity known to the PIV system, associating a unique identifier with that identity, and collecting and recording the person’s relevant attributes into the system. In some other NIST documents, such as [NIST SP 800-63A], identity registration is referred to as enrollment.\n\n2. The process through which a CSP/IdP provides a successfully identity-proofed applicant with a subscriber account and binds authenticators to grant persistent access.\n\n3. The process through which an applicant applies to become a subscriber of a CSP and the CSP validates the applicant’s identity.\n\n4. See Enrollment.\n\n5. Making a person’s identity known to the enrollment/Identity Management System information system by associating a unique identifier with that identity, and collecting and recording the person’s relevant attributes into the information system. Registration is necessary in order to initiate other processes, such as adjudication, card/token personalization and issuance and, maintenance that are necessary to issue and to re-issue or maintain a PIV Card or a Derived PIV Credential token.\n\n6. The process that a CA uses to create a certificate for a web server or email user. (In the context of this practice guide, enrollment applies to the process of a certificate requester requesting a certificate, the CA issuing the certificate, and the requester retrieving the issued certificate.)\n\n7. The process that a CA uses to create a certificate for a web server or email user. (In the context of this practice guide, enrollment applies to the process of a certificate requester requesting a certificate, the CA issuing the certificate, and the requester retrieving the issued certificate).\n\n8. The process through which an applicant applies to become a subscriber of a CSP and an RA validates the identity of the applicant on behalf of the CSP. (NIST SP 800-63-3)\n\n9. The process that a Certificate Authority (CA) uses to create a certificate for a web server or email user\n\n10. The process of making a person’s identity known to the PIV system, associating a unique identifier with that identity, and collecting and recording the person’s relevant attributes into the system.\n\n11. See “Identity Registration”.\n\n12. The process through which an Applicant applies to become a Subscriber of a CSP and an RA validates the identity of the Applicant on behalf of the CSP.",
