autonomic-identity-system

Definition

an identity system that includes a primary root-of-trust in self-certifying identifiers that are strongly bound at issuance to a cryptographic signing (public, private) key pair. An AIS enables any entity to establish control over an AN in an independent, interoperable, and portable way.

Explanation

There's nobody that can intervene with the establishment of the authenticity of a control operation because you can verify all the way back to the root-of-trust.
