|
|
|
| [authentication](Access-management#authentication) | | The act providing a user's identity to a software system. |

|
| Access Administrator | AA | The PEP role responsible for [data access management](Access-control#data-access). |
|
|
|
| access group | | A named group of users that can be [authorized](Access-control) for specific actions. Also called a "role" in the system. |
|
|
|
| [authorization](Access-control#authorization) | | Determining whether a user is allowed to perform certain actions in a software system. |
|
|
|
| [authentication](Access-control#authentication) | | The act providing a user's identity to a software system. |
|
|
|
| blending | | The combination of several data sets into a single, larger data set. |
|
|
|
| [Castor](https://www.castoredc.com/electronic-data-capture-system/) | | An Electronic Data Capturing (EDC) system that PEP integrates with. |
|
|
|
| cell | | The intersection of a column and a row, usable to store a single piece of data associated with a single participant. |
|
|
|
| column | | A [data structuring](Data-structure) primitive associated with a single type of data, or with a single measurement. Columns are referred to by their names. |
|
|
|
| column group | | A named set of columns that can be used as a basis for [data access management](Access-management#data-access). |
|
|
|
| column group | | A named set of columns that can be used as a basis for [data access management](Access-control#data-access). |
|
|
|
| download | | The act of retrieving data from PEP. Also: a data set that has been retrieved from PEP. |
|
|
|
| Data Administrator | DA | The PEP role responsible for [data structuring](Data-structure) and management. |
|
|
|
| Electronic Data Capturing system | EDC | Third-party software used to gather and store data, e.g. from academic research study subjects. PEP provides out-of-the-box integration with the [Castor EDC](https://www.castoredc.com/electronic-data-capture-system/). |
|
|
|
| encryption | | A technique to make information readable only to parties that are in possession of an associated secret. |
|
|
|
| [enrollment](Access-management#enrollment) | | Providing a user (or other party) with the cryptographic materials required to perform actions in the PEP system. |
|
|
|
| [enrollment](Access-control#enrollment) | | Providing a user (or other party) with the cryptographic materials required to perform actions in the PEP system. |
|
|
|
| identifier | ID | A piece of information that uniquely denotes a single piece of data. The polymorphic pseudonym (PP) is PEP's primary [identifier type for rows](https://gitlab.pep.cs.ru.nl/pep-public/user-docs/-/wikis/Pseudonymization#identifiers-in-pep). |
|
|
|
| local pseudonym | LP | A row identifier that is unique to an access group. Different access groups use different local pseudonyms to refer to the same row. |
|
|
|
| OAuth | | A technical standard related to [access control](Access-control). PEP's OAuth tokens allow parties to [enroll](Access-control#enrollment) with the system. |
|
|
|
| participant | | A subject in an academic research study. The term is commonly used in PEP software and documentation as a synonym for a data row. |
|
|
|
| participant group | | A named set of rows that can be used as a basis for [data access management](Access-management#data-access). |
|
|
|
| participant group | | A named set of rows that can be used as a basis for [data access management](Access-control#data-access). |
|
|
|
| [participant identifier](https://gitlab.pep.cs.ru.nl/pep-public/user-docs/-/wikis/Pseudonymization#participant-identifier) | | A fixed identifier associated with a single PEP row. Participant identifiers are (a.o.) used to create new rows in PEP. |
|
|
|
| Polymorphic Encryption and Pseudonymization | PEP | A software system geared toward secure data storage, and toward preservation of privacy and confidentiality. |
|
|
|
| pepAssessor | | A GUI application used for the registration, lookup and management of (academic research) subjects whose data are stored in PEP. Primarily intended for use by research assessors. |
