Re: Verifiable Text-based Claims

David,

I see your point. I was thinking about the special case of journalistic retractions. I updated the example indicating a revocation object.

I’m thinking that we can also use revocations for superseding statements, which allows features including the updating of and the moving/redirection of statements.

{
  "id": "https://example.com/users/1/revocations/ebfeb1f712ebc6f1/",
  "type": "Revocation",
  "issuer": "https://example.com/users/1/issuer/",
  "issued": "2017-06-19T21:19:10Z",
  "revoked": "https://example.com/facts/ebfeb1f712ebc6f1/",
  "supersededBy": "https://example.com/facts/a3cc92841ac9c3f2/"
  "signature": {
    "type": "LinkedDataSignature2017",
    "created": "2017-06-19T21:19:10Z",
    "creator": "https://example.com/users/1/keys/",
    "nonce": "c0ae1c8e-c7e7-469f-b252-86e6a0e7387e",
    "signatureValue": "BavEll0/I1zpYw8XNi1bgVg/sCneO4Jugez8RwDg/+MCR

  }
}


Best regards,

Hi Adam

the revocation statement should not contain details of the VC that has
been revoked as this is privacy invasive. There are no ACLs on
revocation lists (usually). All it should contain is the ID of the VC
that has been revoked, signed by the issuer (in a similar way to an
X.509 CRL). In this was an inspector who has the VC, has the unique ID
and can therefore check if the VC was revoked or not

regards

David
