Re: Modeling credentials issued by a proxy issuer

Hi Anil,

It depends on if the delegated issuer is responsible for managing the lifecycle of the credential. If the issuer is taking full responsibility for the credential, it may make sense to put the university/ employer inside of the credentialSubject as a data provider. If the university/ employer is taking a more active role in managing the credentials, then they could be the issuer with the 3rd party acting as a custodian for the key.

However, these 3rd parties when they issue the credential, want to make sure that when they issue these credentials, the holder understands that the 3rd party is doing it on behalf of the university and want that information conveyed in the verifiable credential. How can this be modeled in the current version of Verifiable credential. Note that this 3rd party has no access to any of the keys of the original issuers so the signature in the proof will belong to the 3rd party
