This standard specifies the entity authentication mechanism using asymmetric signature technology. Two authentication mechanisms belong to the authentication of a single entity (one-way), and the rest belong to the mutual authentication mechanism of two entities. Digital signatures are used to verify the identity of entities, possibly involving trusted third parties. The mechanisms specified in this International Standard, using time-varying parameters such as timestamps, sequence numbers or random numbers, prevent previously valid authentication information from being later accepted. If time stamps or sequence numbers are used, only one pass is required for one-way authentication, but two passes are required for mutual authentication. One-way authentication requires two passes when using the challenge and response method with nonces, and three or four passes (depending on the mechanism used) when mutual authentication is done.
