Identifikacijo

Identifikacijo (identification) is the process of establishing or confirming the identity of a person or entity. It is used in legal, administrative, security, and information technology contexts to enable trusted interactions, access control, and record-keeping.

Identification differs from authentication, which verifies that a claimed identity is genuine, and from authorization, which determines what resources the person may access.

Common methods of identifikacijo include document-based verification, knowledge-based verification, possession-based verification, and biometric verification. Document-based verification checks official IDs or travel documents; knowledge-based approaches rely on things the individual knows, such as passwords or answers to security questions; possession-based methods rely on something the person has, such as a mobile device or smart card; biometric verification uses unique traits like fingerprints, facial features, voice, or iris patterns.

In digital ecosystems, identifikacijo is often a step in onboarding or access control, and is frequently followed by authentication and authorization depending on the system.

Applications include border control, banking, healthcare, e-government, and online services. Privacy, consent, data minimization, and transparency are important considerations in identifikacijo.

Challenges include fraud, spoofing of credentials, biases in biometric systems, accessibility for people without standard IDs, and data security risks.

Standards and governance: International standards such as ISO/IEC 24760 and privacy regulations influence identifikacijo practices.

Overall, identifikacijo is a foundational step in secure service delivery, enabling personalized and compliant interactions while balancing privacy and security.
