peer entity authentication service
(I) A security service that verifies an identity claimed by or for
a system entity in an association. (See: authentication,
authentication service.)
(C) This service is used at the establishment of, or at times
during, an association to confirm the identity of one entity to
another, thus protecting against a masquerade by the first entity.
However, unlike data origin authentication service, this service
requires an association to exist between the two entities, and the
corroboration provided by the service is valid only at the current
time that the service is provided.
(C) See: "relationship between data integrity service and
authentication services" under data integrity service.
