Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical
activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work. In the field of information technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee,
ISO/IEC JTC 1.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for
the different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject
of patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent
rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the
Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

Introduction
An International Standard for identity proofing of natural persons is required, to which other identity
management standards can refer.
A large and increasing number of industry and government organizations seek an international identity
proofing standard. This document enables interoperability and federated trust for the purposes of
digital economies and societies, and support international cyber assurance across supply chains and
global commons.
This document relates to: the ISO/IEC 24760 series which specifies a general framework for identity
management, including a life cycle for identity information; and ISO/IEC 29115, which specifies levels
of assurance for entity authentication. These standards focus primarily on the policy and technical
standards for the issuance and operation of identity management and access management systems,
which come after the process of enrolment. The use of these standards can benefit from a standard for
identity proofing of persons.
This document is intended to be used by any entity that performs identity proofing, such as described
in ISO/IEC 29115 and/or the ISO/IEC 24760 series.

3.1
application
process whereby information to be used for identity (3.9) proofing of a subject (3.15) is provided
3.2
authoritative evidence
evidence that holds identifying attribute(s) (3.8) that are managed by an authoritative party (3.3)
Note 1 to entry: This is one type of evidence of identity.
Note 2 to entry: Authoritative evidence for a particular identifying attribute can be only corroborative evidence
for another.
3.3
authoritative party
entity that has the recognized right to create or record, and has responsibility to directly manage, an
identifying attribute (3.8)
Note 1 to entry: Jurisdiction(s) and/or industry communities sometimes nominate a party as authoritative. It is
possible that such a party is subject to legal controls.
3.4
context
environment with defined boundary conditions in which subjects (3.15) exist and interact
[SOURCE: ITU-T X.1252 (4/2010), 6.20, modified — entities has been replaced by subjects.]

3.5
corroborative evidence
evidence that holds identifying attribute(s) (3.8) that are not managed by an authoritative party (3.3)
Note 1 to entry: It is possible that the identifying attributes in corroborative evidence are not as up-to-date or
accurate as those in authoritative evidence.
Note 2 to entry: This is one type of evidence of identity.
Note 3 to entry: Corroborative evidence for a particular identifying attribute can be authoritative evidence for
another.

EOI
evidence that provides a degree of confidence that a subject (3.15) is represented by the identity (3.9)
being claimed

attribute that contributes to uniquely identifying a subject (3.15) within a context
3.9
identity
set of attributes related to a person (3.12)

4 Identity proofing concepts
4.1 Identity proofing
Identity proofing is the process to verify identifying attribute(s) to be entered into an identity
management system and to establish that the identifying attributes pertain to the subject to be enrolled.
Deploying an identity proofing function should include:
— documenting the policy for identity proofing, the processes conducted and the designated team or
person in ch
