ADUCID standard operations

The fundamental element of ADUCID®’s activity is an operation.

The target application requests AIM to perform an operation, AIM along with PEIG® then perform the operation and make the result available to the application.
The application can then use the result of the operation (e.g. use a positive authentication result to grant access to information to a specific user in the scope of that user’s assigned rights, or use a negative result to deny access).
Standard applications only use the “open” operation, which performs user authentication.
Applications that manage identities (Identity Management) use other operations that support the execution of the entire lifecycle of the identity and other activities.

For illustration, a list of supported operations of ADUCID® is provided with a brief description of each operation:

Item Initialization of an identity	II	Identity Initialization	“init”	PEIG® and AIM together form a new unique electronic identity.
Use of an identity	IU	Identity Use	“open”	PEIG® and AIM together validate the eID and provide a link to user information (authentication).
Change in an identity	IC	Identity Change	“change”	PEIG® and AIM together change the existing internal values of the identity while preserving the entire context of personification (including all associated personal data).
Termination of an identity	IE	Identity End	“delete”	PEIG® and AIM together invalidate the electronic identity and prevent anyone from performing any operation using this identity.
Reparative change of an identity	RC	Reparative Identity Change	“rechange”	Change of an identity performed if the validity of previous identity has expired.
Reparative initialization	RI	Reparative Identity Init	“reinit”	Identical with II, performed if corresponding identity exists on PEIG® (this operation’s purpose is to restore AIM).
Extended Use	XUSE			Advanced operation to create replicas, display dialogs and work with personal factor.
