So this is a credential that provides authentication based on proof of possession of a signing key (i.e., a signature), where that signature is limited to some scope via the signing protocol we will define.

Could people live with "ScopedSignatureCredential"?

so you are suggesting..

enum CredentialType<cid:C062856F-D6ED-46B9-965A-E21D0D6FFD24> {

    "ScopedSignatureCredential"
};

.. yes?

sure, I can live with that.
