[Fim4l] Scopus

Documenting the same attribute in different ways (based on perspective) is a receipt for disaster.

Everybody should call it in the same way; the IdP, the SP, the federation, the government and software developers. An attribute is pseudonymous from the SP perspective, too.

(The attribute can be more anonymous than pseudonymous, there are other words for that, for example transient, when it's session based.)

Kind regards,
Meshna

    Nit: If the SP recieves a persistent identifier (i.e., one that
    doesn't change from session to session) the subject is not "anonymous"
    but merely "pseudonymous", at least under GDPR terminology.
    (This matters to those of us that have to compy with GDPR because
    "anonymous data" isn't personal data and doesn't fall under GDPR, but
    "pseudonymous" is personal data just as if it were not pseudonymised.)

Can't we say that, with regard to a persistent identifier,
- for an IdP it is pseudonymous (for they can translate it to a person)
- for an SP it is anonymous (for they are not able to translate it to a person)?

regards,
Jos
