[Openid-specs-heart] Vectors of Trust for the Public API - Was: HEART Use Case: Alice Enrolls with PCP

Let's assume that central intent of Bill's use case seems is to leverage
the quality of the PHR credential and the in-person identity proofing of
the EHR. For example, imagine that Apple offers me a secure PHR in
HealthKit linked to the fingerprint sensor and remote wipe feature. Apple
may or may not do identity proofing. If I lose my iPhone, I need to restore
the PHR from backup. "Apple does not see your HealthKit data."

Now that I have a PHR that I trust and a secure credential, I go to my
Hospital and say that I want to enrollmy iPhone into their Public API. The
issues are:

1 - Apple and the Hospital must be federated so that the EHR accepts my
Apple credential on the Public API.

2 - If I lose my phone or Apple forsakes me, I need to be able to access
the hospital's Public API through some other path.

2a - I have a backup credential like a password or a FIDO token that also
provides access to the Hospital Public API.

2b - I have an in-person relationship with the Hospital and they have a
photo or fingerprints on file when I show up.

2c - Both 2a and 2b

A - Are there any other choices?

B - Does it matter to the Public API if Apple is the PHR and Verizon is the
IDP that accepts the Apple credential?

C - What changes in the Public API if Apple offers me an UMA Authorization
Server as a HealthKit app?

D - What changes in the Public API if Verizon and the Hospital are part of
a trust federation and my Apple Authorization Server is completely under my
control ("Apple will not see my Authorization Server or my HealthKit data")?

Note that I've avoided use of "known to the practice" or "identity
proofing" and that I've not named any particular standards other than FIDO
which is here only as a placeholder for any cryptographically strong
pseudonym.
