Section 4.3 Authentication Section - rename "authenticationCredential" #45

Closed trbouma closed 6 years ago

trbouma commented 6 years ago

I propose that "authenticationCredential" be renamed to "authenticatorMechanism" or just "authentication". This is more general and gets away from the term "Credential" which has been overloaded over the years. My preference is "authenticationMechanism".

I note that the EXAMPLE 5 uses "authentication"

Fixed. Thank you.

That was old language. The group has settled on "authentication" for now (after a tremendous amount of debate).
