  "definition": "1. Set of rules and procedures that describes the objects of conformity assessment, identifies the specified requirements and provides the methodology for performing conformity assessment.\n\n2. A (cryptographic) scheme consists of a set of unambiguously specified transformations that are capable of providing a (cryptographic) service when properly implemented and maintained. A scheme is a higher-level construct than a primitive and a lower-level construct than a protocol.\n\n3. A set of unambiguously specified transformations that provide a (cryptographic) service when properly implemented and maintained. A scheme is a higher-level construct than a primitive and a lower-level construct than a protocol.\n\n4. A set of unambiguously specified transformations that provide a (cryptographic) service (e.g., key establishment) when properly implemented and maintained. A scheme is a higher-level construct than a primitive and a lower-level construct than a protocol.\n\n5. A (cryptographic) scheme consists of a set of unambiguously specified transformations that are capable of providing a (cryptographic) service when properly implemented and maintained.
