Re: Verifiable Credential Notarization and Third-Party Notary Services Providers: User Scenarios

Just replying directly to the part of the email I wanted to reply to.
But linking in alot of the other answers. I also dont feel a notary is able
to work as an expert witness in verifying that something is correct.
I too have felt that notaries just make sure that the current document they
see, is the document that is delivered, and nothing else.

But why are noone talking about the machine itself being able to issue a
VC? It is produced with a DID, under anchoring of a trusted company.
The machine can issue VCs. Which are verified back to the company who is a
trusted company?
This way alice presents its DID to the machine, gets the reading, and is
able to receive the DID?

Which can be directly passed onto the doctor?
