ATAG ARF Feedback: 6.1.1 Scope - verifiable credentials as the mechanism for trust establishment to reduce cost and complexity #255

Open heatherdahl opened 4 months ago

Description

Name: Heather Dahl, Ken Ebert, Indicio

ARF Chapter: 6.1.1 Scope “This trust model does not presume a specific implementation. In particular, the use of term 'certificate' does not imply a specific format. Depending on implementation, it may be an X.509 certificate or another format specified in the context of any other trust framework.”

Recommendation: Does this include the possibility of the certificate being issued as a verifiable credential? Using verifiable credentials as the mechanism for trust establishment would reduce overall complexity and cost for the solution.
