Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to name the agent identity a certification binds the key to — the identity half of the attested key↔identity binding.

Avoid when

• Avoid for the key being vouched for (gmeow:certifiedKey) and for the agent doing the vouching (gmeow:certifier); it is functional — one bound identity per certification.

How to use

• Point the certification at exactly one gmeow:Agent identity and pair it with gmeow:certifiedKey; a competing claim that the key belongs to a different identity is a separate certification across standpoints.

Examples

• ex:cert1 gmeow:certifiedIdentity ex:lillith.
