Authenticated Identity
Definition
Authenticated identity is a party or user identity that has been verified by an authentication process and can therefore be treated as trusted for the current security context. In IAM/IGA usage, the term usually refers to the result of successful authentication rather than to the raw identifier itself. It is not a formal IETF/NIST/ISO term in the provided sources, so its meaning should be interpreted as a general security concept unless a product-specific glossary defines it otherwise.
