Overview#

Rich Credential is a credential provides multi-Factor Authentication of a Digital Subject to a verifier by demonstrating

• possession of a Private Key (Something You Have)
• knowledge of a password (Something You Know)
• possession of one or more biometric features (Something You Are)

even though the subject has no prior relationship with the verifier.

To enable this, the issuer embeds Biometric Template into the credential and uses a salted hash of a password chosen by the Digital Subject as input to the computation of the credential Digital Signature.

Rich Credential provides selective disclosure of attributes, a privacy feature that allows the subject and the verifier to negotiate the set of attributes to be disclosed in a particular presentation.
