- Standardized method providing foundations of credential issuer and verifier trust.
- Support offline and near-offline evaluations via cacheable assets
- Avoid leaking information about trust evaluations to parties other than the one performing the evalution.
- Enable advice for humans making trust decisions
- Enable automated trust decisions.
- Produce relevant specifications and reference implementations.
- Guide decisions of interoperability profiles using these specifications.
