Class 1 refers to the category of non-human identities that include entities with basic identification requirements.
Description
In the context of Non-Human Identity Management, Class 1 identities are those that do not require complex or extensive verification processes. These identities typically belong to simple, well-defined entities such as devices, sensors, or basic software applications. Class 1 identities are usually managed through straightforward identification methods like unique identifiers (UIDs) or serial numbers, which allow for basic tracking and management without the need for elaborate authentication protocols. This classification is critical in Internet of Things (IoT) environments, where numerous devices need to be recognized and managed efficiently. The management of Class 1 identities often focuses on ensuring that each entity can be distinctly identified within a system, enabling basic functionalities such as data collection and operational monitoring. As technology evolves, the way Class 1 identities are managed may also adapt, but the fundamental concept remains centered on simplicity and efficiency in identification.
Examples
- Unique device identifiers for smart home appliances.
- Serial numbers for industrial sensors.
Additional Information
- Class 1 identities typically do not require multi-factor authentication.
- They are often involved in automated systems with minimal human intervention.
