D13 self issued #144

Closed atoulme closed 2 years ago

atoulme commented 2 years ago

D13 states: Note that credentials utilized within one or more BPIs may be self-issued.

Isn't that what CR4>D11 implies though? All credentials must be generated by the principal owner.

@atoulme sorry overlooked this. Answer: No ... most credentials are not self-issued but rather issued by a 3rd party e.g. DMV. CR4>D11 just states that 

CR4]>[D11]
Generating key pairs in a BPI on behalf of the Principal Owner MUST NOT be allowed.

which only refers to keys and not credentials. Keys are used to signing credentials.
