In our model, we have combined "assertions" and "claims" into "verifiable claims" to simplify. Other models separate these out but we've found that to be an unnecessary complication. Currently, our model is this: An Issuer makes a (verifiable) claim about a Subject and gives it to a Holder. The Holder may share this claim with an Inspector who may verify that it was made by the Issuer and that it was not tampered with. -- Dave Longley CTO Digital Bazaar, Inc. http://digitalbazaar.com
