Which mechanisms does it cover?
Five families: identity based mechanisms, integer factorization, discrete logarithms over prime or composite moduli, asymmetric encryption systems, and discrete logarithms on elliptic curves. The elliptic curve family entered in 2009 and is the newest arithmetic in the part.

Questions
Which family gives mutual authentication?
The asymmetric encryption family is the one with a mutual exchange. The others in this part are unilateral.
Is every mechanism zero knowledge?
The scope says the mechanisms follow zero-knowledge principles but are not necessarily zero knowledge for every parameter choice.
