Presentation by Christoph Graf (Switch)
Discussion topics
1. Attributes
- Definition of a crisp and clean set of attributes that we will put in an R&E identity credential
- Binding between ‘real user attributes’ and the credentials we issue as sector
2. Credentials
- Granularity of the credentials we issue - directed by actual user need
3. Bridging the worlds:
- making stuff available in appropriate VCs that is currently transported by other means, e.g. studentness via eduGAIN represented in a studentness VC
- map the governance structure of our current ecosystems to the “VC-world”. It should answer the following question of a verifier: how can I tell this studentness VC is genuine?
