Identification of data, devices, documents and individuals

The author mainly examines the information integrity aspects of the problem of identification, although some of the applications are primarily concerned with the physical aspects of identification. He is concerned with indirect identification, where the verifier (who may be either a person or a device) is dependent on information provided by the object of the identification (who again may be either a person or a device) and perhaps some supplemental information from another source. Aspects of the identification of individuals, devices, and documents are examined, with appropriate protocols given.<<ETX>>
