Terms

Preferred term, Draft

Definition

a system for creating, maintaining, and managing identity information for holders, while providing authentication services to relying party applications within a federation or distributed network

Note

In this case the holder is always the subject. Even if the verifiable credentials are bearer credentials, it is assumed the verifiable credentials remain with the subject, and if they are not, they were stolen by an attacker. This specification does not use this term unless comparing or mapping the concepts in this document to other specifications. This specification decouples the identity provider concept into two distinct concepts: the issuer and the holder.
