[Openid-specs-ab] UserInfo Verifiable Credentials

Thanks all. This looks like an interesting spec.

I did initially assume the same as others, that the credential would be issued from the userinfo endpoint.

It might be worth considering an alternative name like “user claims” instead of “userinfo”?

It’s also interesting to think about how this might work with the OIDC ‘claims’ parameter  <https://openid.net/specs/openid-connect-core-1_0.html#ClaimsParameter>- that would presumably result in the need for a new entity inside the ‘claims’ object in the request at the same level as “id_token” and “userinfo”.

My initial thought is I’d be in favour of adoption.

Thanks

Joseph

The generality of the VCI mechanism is powerful, but means the wallet and issuer need to agree on a bunch of details, each of which is a chance for interop failure.

A “UserInfo VC” carries the same claims that are provided by the UserInfo endpoint, wrapped as a VC.  The issuance process is just VCI with certain knobs pre-set (e.g., proof of possession is always via a JWT).
