Overview
Project Title	CCSDS Authentication Credentials
Approval	Approved
Document Number	357.0
Charter	1.02 Security Working Group
Document Type	Blue
Description of Document	This document will develop a CCSDS recommendation for authentication credentials. The term "authentication credentials" have been used in several published CCSDS documents (e.g., cross support architecture) but up to this point, there is no such standard. This project will research the existing credential standards, and if applicable, will create an adaptation profile for CCSDS.
Applicable Patents	There are no patent issues for this technology that are known by the CCSDS community
