Unauthenticated Entity Authentication

The unauthenticated entity authentication scheme does not provide encryption or authentication and only identifies the entity. Therefore entity identities can be harvested and spoofed. The benefit of this authentication scheme is that the entity has control over its identity. This may be useful if the identity is derived from or related to other data, or if retaining the identity is desired across state resets or in the event of MSL errors requiring entity re-authentication.

This scheme is identified by the string NONE.
