As I don't have any significant experience with standard/international information security literature, I would like to ask here if some international information a security organization took the initiative to standardize the terms "authentication" in general and _authentication modules_ in particular as to well define what elements should such a module include.- What makes a software module an "authentication" module?
- I'd guess:
* Receive an email as input- * Receive a password as input
- * Possibly; receive a username as input
- * Possibly; receive an encryption private key as input
- * Possibly; receive a "two factor authentication data"
- * Possibly; receive a Captcha input
- As I don't have any significant experience with internationally-standard information security literature, I would like to ask here if some international information security organization took the initiative to standardize the terms "authentication" in general and _authentication modules_ in particular as to well define what elements should such a module include in minimum.

Is there a standard meaning for the term "authentication"?
- What makes a software module an "authentication" module?
Is there a standard meaning for the term "authentication" (in the context of software development)?Was some international information a security organization took the imitative to standardize that term so to well-define what does authentication means? If so, what should an "authentication module" in a source code actually do?- I would guess:
- * Receive an email as input
- * Receive a password as input
- * Possibly; receive a username as input
- * Possibly; receive an encryption private key as input
- * Possibly; receive a "two factor authentication data"
- * Possibly; receive a Captcha input
