[Openid-specs-ab] Relationship with Claims Aggregation Draft (was Re: Issue #1229: Adoption of the "OpenID Connect for W3C Verifiable Credential Objects" (openid/connect))

Wed May 12 17:12:51 UTC 2021

The current draft of Claims Aggregation asserts very specific rules around
how claims are cryptographically bound throughout their lifecycle, and
those (noted below) are currently incompatible with a privacy-preserving
presentation using proofs.

These can definitely be addressed and the draft improved, which IMO would
look like some blend of the Claims Aggregation draft, the OIDC4VCO draft,
and the Credential Provider draft.  A decision likely needs to be agreed
upon whether the issuance and presentation can usefully exist as separate
specs or not.

Jer
----

Note - some of the items of concern (based on my understanding) are:
* The "uid" value is required and correlatable
* The audience requirements are not practical (final/eventual audience is
unknown when claims are issued)
* It requires JWTs for signed/encrypted aggregated results
* It suggests no or long expiration, which requires providers and verifiers
to implement revocation (which is a very complicated subject)

All these can be iteratively improved, the result is likely to look notably
different than the current draft.  I'm happy to start filing issues if or
when that would be helpful.
