RTAO -> TAO

As a Root of Trust (RTAO) entity, it is possible to accredit Trusted Accreditation Organisations to issue Verifiable Accreditations or Verifiable Attestations.

The Verifiable Accreditation should include:

Field Description Example
Issuer DID of the Root of Trust (RTAO) did:cheqd:testnet:8ea036da-f340-480d-8952-f5561ea1763c
Subject DID of the TAO that is being accredited did:cheqd:testnet:a2b675de-33d0-4044-8183-0d74f210cceb
Credential Subject A set of structured permissions around what credentials the TAO is accredited to issue, and in which jurisdiction. See below
Terms of use A set of policies setting out the Governance Framework for the ecosystem See below

Permissions

Root TAOs can set permissions under which TAOs must abide. This creates a level of codified governance for the trust ecosystem.

"credentialSubject": {
    "id": "did:cheqd:testnet:a2b675de-33d0-4044-8183-0d74f210cceb",
    "accreditedFor": [
      {
        "schemaId": "did:cheqd:testnet:8ea036da-f340-480d-8952-f5561ea1763c/resources/b10146d7-0d0f-41e0-8ee3-c76db64890be",
        "types": [
          "VerifiableCredential",
          "VerifiableAccreditation",
          "VerifiableAttestation",
          "VerifiableAccreditationToAccredit"
        ],
        "limitJurisdiction": "https://publications.europa.eu/resource/authority/atu/FIN"
      }
    ]
  },

Whereby:

Field Description
schemaId Schema of the Verifiable Accreditation that the TAO is accredited to issue themselves
types Types of Credential that the TAO is accredited to issue
limitJurisdiction Permission that the RTAO can set to limit the jurisdictional scope of the credentials issued in the ecosystem

Policies

The Root TAO can also set polices known as the TrustFrameworkPolicy within the termsOfUse section of the Verifiable Accreditation.

"termsOfUse": {
    "type": "TrustFrameworkPolicy",
    "trustFramework": "Name of the Ecosystem Governance Framework (GF)",
    "trustFrameworkId": "https://example.com/governance-framework/125"
  },

Whereby:

Field Description
type Must be TrustFrameworkPolicy
trustFramework Name of Governance Framework set by the Governance Authority
trustFrameworkId URL linking to where the written Governance Framework is stored
