Secure Patterns for Internet CrEdentials
There is a need to more clearly document verifiable credentials - that is credentials that utilize the issuer, holder, and verifier (three party) model across various work at the IETF, ISO, W3C, and other SDOs.
This need particularly arises in use cases for credentials that do not involve human-in-the-loop interactions, and especially in the use and construction of CBOR encoded verifiable credentials for use cases outside of authentication and authorization.
Based on these use cases, there is a need to clearly define message formats and supporting mechanisms.
Additionally, multiple groups at the IETF need a clear definition for what architectures might exist and should be leveraged for certain use cases, and to identify where there are gaps or new architectural concepts that need to be defined.
This repository is a collection of documents related to this proposed working group.
