Sorry my answer was ambiguous/unclear. The user is identified to the
Issuer by the SOP key associated with the issuer. The user is identified
to the consumer by the SOP key associated with the consumer.
The user sends the consumer SOP public key to the issuer and the issuer
assigns the attribute to that. The issuer has no idea who the consumer
is since this key is unique to the user. But the consumer knows the user
possesses the attribute since the assertion is signed by the issuer, and
the attribute is attached to its SOP key.
