Enrollment
Noun · Security & Infosec
Definitions
The process of registering a user, device, token, biometric factor, or certificate into an identity or security system so it can be recognized and trusted later. Secure enrollment matters because weak initial proofing can undermine every later authentication step.
In plain English: The setup process that registers a person or device into a security system.
Example: "The mobile device enrollment flow now requires stronger identity proofing before issuing certificates."
