Verifiable credentials and issuer trust
The W3C credential model describes claims exchanged among issuers, holders and verifiers. A verification workflow also needs an explicit trust policy, status handling and privacy controls.
Applying the concept
Start with the claim and the issuer authorized to make it. Decide what information a holder should disclose and what a verifier must check. Treat cryptographic verification and acceptance of the issuer's claim as separate decisions.
