And as the access certificate needs to be one used for Electronic
signatures ach to law the good old ETSI EN 319 411 already applcable as a)
not exclusively bound to TSP and useable worldwide & b) already contains
option to put authorization as "vank", "doctor" in certificate.
No need for additional attestation.
Beside this Mirko; Your idea would mean that RP goes to ecosystem Party
e.g. medical Association to get attestation "doctor", something the
registrar proofs without need of EAA.
Practically this means any ecosystems authority issueing such an
attestation becomes TSP acc Art. 3 Nr. 16 eIDAS.
So as consultant I have to state: Thanks for the great sales idea. As
standardization expert I have to state: reuse ETSI EN 319 411, put value in
access certificate - ready.
And be legally compliant.
My Boss would like you
Best
