Secure Credential Transfer

Description

We presented the secure credential draft to Dispatch on Monday of IETF week (2021).
There was a lot of interest, but folks asked for additional detail on the problem statement, requirements, and use cases.
It was decided that we weren’t ready to form a WG right away and instead endeavored to schedule a BoF to review the above items prior to forming a WG.
Our draft’s goal is to allow users with secure credentials on their mobile devices to be able to shares entitlements that these credentials grant to other users.
This system does not exist today in a standards-based, cross-platform and cross-channel capacity.
Our goal in the BoF is to answer some of the questions that came up during the Dispatch meeting (such as, why can’t these credentials simply be lifted and cloned and then sent to the recipient?).
We also want to provide additional detail into the applicable use cases, and some of the security and privacy requirements for the solution.
Our ultimate goal is to form a WG to discuss the initiative in an ongoing capacity.
