New issue 1390: Term "Wallet" is used without being defined
https://bitbucket.org/openid/connect/issues/1390/term-wallet-is-used-without-being-defined
Michael Jones:
Both the OIDC4VP and OIDC4VCI specifications use the term “Wallet” without defining the abstraction or saying how it relates to other abstractions used in the specifications. I understand that the term is in common usage in some communities but if we use it in our specifications, we owe it to implementers to say what it is \(and possibly what it is not\), so that whatever it refers to is clearly defined and actionable by implementers and End-Users.
\(Note that we chose to avoid the term entirely in the SIOPv2 spec exactly because the term “Wallet” appear to mean many different things to different people.\)
I’m OK with us fixing this after the Implementer’s Draft is approved, but we should work on the fix in the meantime and be ready to update the specs at that point.
