FPR_PSE.1     Pseudonymity

User application notes

This component provides the user protection against disclosure of identity to other users. The user will remain accountable for its actions.

Operations

Assignment:

In FPR_PSE.1.1 the PP/ST author should specify the set of users and/ or subjects against which the TSF must provide protection. For example, even if the PP/ST author specifies a single user or subject role, the TSF must not only provide protection against each individual user or subject, but must protect with respect to cooperating users and/or subjects. A set of users, for example, could be a group of users which can operate under the same role or can all use the same process(es).

In FPR_PSE.1.1 the PP/ST author should identify the list of subjects and/or operations and/or objects where the real user name of the subject should be protected, for example, 'the accessing of job offers'. Note that 'objects' includes any other attributes that might enable another user or subject to derive the actual identity of the user.

In FPR_PSE.1.2 the PP/ST author should identify the (one or more) number of aliases the TSF is able to provide.

In FPR_PSE.1.2 the PP/ST author should identify the list of subjects to whom the TSF is able to provide an alias.

Assignment:

In FPR_PSE.1.3 the PP/ST author should identify the metric to which the TSF-generated or user-generated alias should conform.
