Scope:

This part of ISO/IEC 20009 specifies anonymous entity authentication mechanisms based on signatures using a group public key in which a verifier verifies a group signature scheme to authenticate the entity with which it is communicating, without knowing this entity’s identity.

 

This part of ISO/IEC 20009 provides

— a general description of an anonymous entity authentication mechanism based on signatures using a group public key;

— a variety of mechanisms of this type.

 

This part of ISO/IEC 20009 describes

— the group membership issuing processes;

— anonymous authentication mechanisms without an online Trusted Third Party (TTP);

— anonymous authentication mechanisms involving an online TTP.

 

Furthermore, this part of ISO/IEC 20009 also specifies

— the group membership opening process (optional);

— the group signature linking process (optional).

Project need:

To align Canadian requirements with those of the respective international standards being proposed for adoption. To maintain alignment between Canadian information and communication technology standards and each respective international standard
