Definition | In the IAM literature, the term subject is used with inconsistent definitions. For instance, (https://open-measure.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BIB/pages/67600608) defines it as a running process, a program in execution. On the other hand, (https://open-measure.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BIB/pages/67633515 and https://open-measure.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/BIB/pages/49284700) use it to designate the external active agent on behalf of whom the process is running. Here, we use Benantar’s definition: the term subject designates a running process and the term entity designates the active agent on behalf of whom the process is running. |
