AuthorizationCredential currently has:

  1. issuerDIDDoc (which to me means "location" - see AuthorizationCredential: rename "issuerDIDDoc"? #24)
  2. requestingPartyDIDDoc (PR fix: term expansion alignment #22)
  3. subjectDID (I think should be renamed - see AuthorizationCredential: "subjectDID" #25)

(missing a "resource owner" - see #23)

These things tell us:

  1. The location of the resource
  2. The requesting party
  3. The subject of the claims in the resource

We're missing a way to express the scope of access on the resource along several dimensions:

  • time (nbf, exp)
  • mode (RO, RW, ...)
  • granularity (specific fields inside schemas)
  • others?

An initial thought was to use the DIF's presentation exchange format to express this... although it doesn't cover all of the bullets
