It's unclear if there might need to be some minor tweaks to macaroons as they appear to be very service oriented, whereas credentials are user-centric. So long as a set of required attributes could be embedded in a macaroon (caveats) and a set of credentials could assert those attributes (despite not being tied to a service), I could see them playing nicely together. -- Dave Longley CTO Digital Bazaar, Inc. http://digitalbazaar.com
