The Social e-ID Framework makes a distinction between the following concepts which are
defined as:
1. “Social Electronic Identification”: understanding as such the “procedure by means of which
external elements enable assigning an identity with determined attributes to a concrete
individual, i.e., it is the verification of the data that prove that an individual is effectively the
person he/she claims to be, an individual subject of law, with determined attributes.”
2. “Electronic Authentication”: understanding as such the “process to verify the authenticity of
the identifications performed or required by an individual, either a physical person or a legal
entity, or about information such as a message or other means of electronic transmission.
The authentication process is the second of two steps that involve: 1) The submission of a
means to prove the identification before a system and, 2) The presentation or generation of
information that corroborates the binding between the means submitted and the individual
or entity identified.”
In this sense, the Social e-ID Framework in its text defines two concepts that usually appear
dissociated. In effect, “social electronic identification” refers to the procedure of binding the
attributes of an individual and the individual him/herself, and also the process of verifying that
information with the concrete individual. It mentions two moments, that would be comprised
in the social electronic identification concept. A first moment in which the authority certifies
the identity of an individual, after being bound to determined attributes (name, place of
birth, family information, biometric data) with the physical individual him/herself, through an
established procedure. And a second moment in which somebody verifies the correlation of
such data with that individual.
This procedure shall be based on elements that are external to the individual, which shall appear
on an official document that will prove such identity thereafter. This document shall contain
these data in a manner that allows the identification process by third parties.
The “electronic authentication” concept is innovative. It is the first time it appears on documents
related to identification. This concept makes reference to a third moment: verification of the
authenticity of the identifications made or requested by a physical person or legal entity, about
information such as a data message or other means of electronic identification. This concept
introduces some innovative elements that we would like to highlight.
On the one hand, it is applied to physical individuals as well as legal identities, i.e., to automated
electronic devices as servers, computer systems, etc. that interact between each other o with
particular individuals. Thus, the value of the action performed by a computer system is included,
even with no direct human activity. This element is already in the Argentine digital signature
Law, which in its article 10 acknowledges the presumption of the sender. This law established
that it is presumed, except if it is otherwise proved, and that the document digitally signed
comes from the sender, in those cases where this digital document has been automatically sent
by a programmed device and bears the digital signature of the sender.
