# --- Alice signs Bob's key, certifying the key↔identity binding.

Common Companion Terms

gmeow:Certification, gmeow:CryptographicKey

Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to name the cryptographic key a certification vouches for — the key half of the attested key↔identity binding.

Avoid when

• Avoid for the identity the key is bound to (that is gmeow:certifiedIdentity) and for the signer (gmeow:certifier); it is functional — one key per certification, a different key is a different attestation.

How to use

• Point the certification at exactly one gmeow:CryptographicKey and pair it with gmeow:certifiedIdentity; the two together are the binding the certifier attests.

Examples

• ex:cert1 gmeow:certifiedKey ex:lillithKey.
