What do you think about the API supporting /corroborating > credentials/ and /corroborating claims/, sending multiple claims from > multiple credentials to verifiers? Yes, this is a goal of the API and the current design supports this via "Verifiable Profiles" [1]. Essentially, a verifier website asks for a set of attributes from the user and the user may -- via their credential repository or "digital wallet" -- assemble a "profile" that contains these attributes, backed by some appropriate set of credentials. This profile is then transmitted to the verifier website to fulfill its request. 1. https://w3c.github.io/vc-data-model -- Dave Longley CTO Digital Bazaar, Inc.
