  "definition": "1. The process of discovering the identity (i.e., origin or initial history) of a person or item from the entire collection of similar persons or items.\n\n2. Unique group element 0 for which x+0=x for each group element x, relative to the binary group operator +.\n\n3. The set of attribute values (i.e., characteristics) by which an entity is recognizable and that, within the scope of an identity manager’s responsibility, is sufficient to distinguish that entity from any other entity.\n\n4. The process of discovering the true identity (i.e., origin, initial history) of a person or item from the entire collection of similar persons or items.\n\n5. The set of physical and behavioral characteristics by which an individual is uniquely recognizable.\nNote: This also encompasses non-person entities (NPEs).\n\n6. The process of verifying the identity of a user, process, or device, usually as a prerequisite for granting access to resources in an IT system.\n\n7. Unique data used to represent a person’s identity and associated attributes. A name or a card number are examples of identifiers.\n\n8. The set of physical and behavioral characteristics by which an individual is uniquely recognizable.\n\n9. Information that is unique within a security domain and which is recognized as denoting a particular entity within that domain.\n\n10. The bit string denoting the identifier associated with an entity.\n\n11. A bit string that is associated with a person, device or organization. It may be an identifying name or a nickname, or may be something more abstract (for example, a string consisting of an IP address).\n\n12. A bit string that is associated with a person, device or organization. It may be an identifying name, or may be something more abstract (for example, a string consisting of an IP address and timestamp), depending on the application.\n\n13. The distinguishing character or personality of an entity.\n\n14. An attribute or set of attributes that uniquely describe a subject within a given context.\n\n15. Develop and implement the appropriate activities to identify the occurrence of a cybersecurity event.\n\n16. A bit string that is associated with a person, device or organization. It may be an identifying name, or may be something more abstract (for example, a string consisting of an Internet Protocol (IP) address).\n\n17. A bit string that is associated with a person, device, or organization. It may be an identifying name or may be something more abstract (e.g., a string consisting of an IP address and timestamp), depending on the application.\n\n18. A set of attributes that uniquely describe a person within a given context.\n\n19. A unique, auditable representation of identity within the system usually in the form of a simple character string for each individual user, machine, software component or any other entity.\n\n20. Something (data) that identifies an assessment object or other entity of interest (like a defect check). In database terms, it is a primary or candidate key that can be used to uniquely identify the assessment object so it is not confused with other objects.\n\n21. A bit string that is associated with a person, device or organization. It may be an identifying name, or may be something more abstract (for example, a string consisting of an Internet Protocol (IP) address and timestamp).",
