definition

term used to describe different operational component properties/specifications

standard (extract)
term
privacy
definition

right of individuals to control or influence what information related to them may be collected and stored and by whom and to whom that information may be disclosed

term
maintainability
definition

ability to keep in a condition of good repair or efficiency

term

standard (extract)
term
interchangeability
definition

condition which exists when two or more items possess such functional and physical characteristics as to be equivalent in performance and durability, and are capable of being exchanged one for the other without alteration of the items themselves, or of adjoining items, and without selection for fit and performance

standard (extract)
term
interoperability
definition

ability of systems to provide services to and accept services from other systems and to use the services so exchanged to enable them to operate effectively together

term
confidentiality
definition

property that information is not made available or disclosed to unauthorized individuals, entities, or processes

term
non-repudiation
definition

property that none of the entities involved in a communication can deny in all or in part its participation in the communication

standard (extract)
term
nominal interoperability
definition

“Application Area Interoperability” in a region spanning two or more areas with cross-border operation between operator domains, districts or nations, the capability for a nominal AVI/AEI system FE to operate with a nominal AVI/AEI system OBE

standard (extract)
term
security
definition

protection of information and data so that unauthorized persons or systems cannot read or modify them and authorized persons or systems are not denied access

standard (extract)
term
(AVI/AEI) transaction
definition

completed cycle of communication (across the air interface at reference point delta) wherein a message identifying a vehicle or item of equipment is successfully received and understood by the receiver during one passage through the read zone

NOTE The number of attempts, retries and repeats is not relevant, it is only that one fully completed identification process communication cycle is successfully completed to the extent that no communications error could be detected.

term
action
definition

function that an application process resident at the roadside equipment can invoke in order to make the on-board equipment execute a specific operation during the transaction

standard (extract)
term
mutual authentication
definition

entity authentication which provides both entities with assurance of each other’s identity

standard (extract)
term
identification (ID)
definition

action or act of establishing the identity

NOTE See also vehicle identification.

term
authorization
definition

granting of rights, which includes the granting of access based on access rights

standard (extract)
term
automatic equipment identification (AEI)
definition

process of identifying equipment or entities that uses the surface transportation infrastructures by means of OBE’s combined with the unambiguous data structure

term
unilateral authentication
definition

entity authentication which provides one entity with the assurance of the other's identity but not vice versa

standard (extract)
term
vehicle identification
definition

action or act of establishing the identity of a vehicle

standard (extract)
term
vehicle vicinity identification
definition

action or act of establishing the identity of a specific vehicle near an external ERI reader (ERR) without pinpointing the exact position of the vehicle

NOTE If there is more than one vehicle present in the vicinity of a reader, no specific vehicle, or its exact location, is identified. However, it will establish that a specific vehicle identity has passed in the vicinity of a reader.

standard (extract)
term
automatic vehicle identification (AVI)
definition

process of identifying vehicles using OBE combined with the unambiguous data structure

standard (extract)
term
electronic registration identification (ERI)
definition

unique identification of a vehicle by wireless communications between an electronic registration tag carried on a vehicle and an electronic registration reader

standard (extract)
term
specific vehicle identification
definition

action or act of establishing the identity of a specific vehicle

NOTE 1 This is in contrast to vehicle vicinity identification, where the vicinity of a vehicle with a specific identity is detected. With specific vehicle identification, it is also known which specific vehicle has been identified.

NOTE 2 Two kinds of specific vehicle identification may be distinguished: first, localized vehicle identification, in which case the location of the identified vehicle is known with such precision that not more than one vehicle can be present at the same time at that location; second, peer communication identification, in which case the identification of the vehicle engaged in some form of communication (e.g. an EFC transaction) is established.

standard (extract)
term
incorrect read
definition

failure to read correctly all or part of a data set

standard (extract)
term
hash-function
definition

function which maps strings of bits to fixed-length strings of bits, satisfying the following two properties: a) for a given output, it is computationally infeasible to find an input which maps to this output; and b) for a given output, it is computationally infeasible to find a second input which maps to the same output

NOTE Computational feasibility depends on the specific security requirements and environment.

standard (extract)
term
cryptography
definition

discipline which embodies principles, means, and methods for the transformation of data in order to hide its information content, prevent its undetected modification and/or prevent its unauthorised use

standard (extract)
term
decryption
definition

decryption reversal of a corresponding reversible encipherment

standard (extract)
term
end-to-end encipherment
definition

encipherment of data within or at the source end system, with the corresponding decipherment occurring only within or at the destination end system
