Perusidentiteettiluettelo

Perusidentiteettiluettelo, meaning "basic identity list" in Finnish, is a term that refers to a foundational set of personal attributes used to identify an individual within a given system or context. This list typically includes essential information that distinguishes one person from another, such as a full name, date of birth, and a unique identifier like a social security number or national identification number. The specific elements included in a perusidentiteettiluettelo can vary depending on the purpose and the governing regulations of the system. For instance, a perusidentiteettiluettelo used for national registration might be more comprehensive than one used for accessing a specific online service.

The primary function of a perusidentiteettiluettelo is to ensure accurate and secure identification. This is crucial for a wide range of applications, including government services, financial transactions, healthcare records, and employment verification. By having a standardized and reliable set of identifying information, organizations can prevent fraud, protect sensitive data, and provide personalized services. The collection and management of such lists are often subject to strict data privacy laws to safeguard individuals' personal information. The concept emphasizes the importance of a core set of data points that are universally recognized as defining an individual's basic identity.
