Hi there, First of all a lot of thanks for writing the specifications. The followings are my questions about DIDs and Identity Credentials. 1. What is the difference or relationship between Identity Credentials [1], Verifiable Credentials [2], and Verifiable Claims [3]? I haven't read all the specifications thoroughly yet but they all seem to deal with the same thing. 2. Is the Credential defined in 2. Terminology of the Identity Credentials specification the same with one in the context of Credential Management Level 1 [4]? If so and everything goes well, I can store my digital passport in the form of Credential defined in the terminology in my mobile browser through navigator.credentials.store using some Identity Provider, and use it to identify myself in other countries. Also, I can manage my credentials on my browser without installing 3rd party app. Does it make sense? 3. Needless to say, DIDs and Identity Credentials match perfectly with blockchain environment. Is there any blockchain project that makes good use of them? Thanks, -- Donghwan [1] https://opencreds.org/specs/source/identity-credentials/#terminology [2] https://w3c.github.io/vc-data-model/#terminology [3] https://w3c.github.io/vc-use-cases/ [4] https://w3c.github.io/webappsec-credential-management/
