# Unified Identity Attribute Set

The **Unified Identity Attribute Set** is an IC technical specification for interoperable identity and authorization attributes. The public 2012 document includes human persons and non-person entities such as machines, services, processes, and applications.
Its function is to let systems interpret requesting identities consistently across organizational boundaries. Attribute-based authorization can combine information about the requester, resource, environment, and policy instead of relying only on the requesting network’s location.
The succession interpretation concerns machines as authenticated operational participants. An identity record for a service supports access control; it does not establish personhood, consciousness, or unrestricted authority.
