Definition and status of ACCOUNT

[TomSatoGH]

One of the difficulties I had with SharedSignal and I think DADE will face is that there is no single protocol that clearly define what an ACCOUNT is and describe the status of that ACCOUNT.
Yes we do have eKYC and IDA to describe how it was registered and assured and SharedSignal describes how to transmit security signal relating to an ACCOUNT. But there isn’t a protocol for describing and ACCOUNT. ISO/IEC 24760-1:2019, for example, provides a framework for identity management and includes definitions for identity-related terms. It defines “identity” as a set of attributes related to an entity, which can be a person or an organization, but does not provide a specific definition for “ACCOUNT.” Verifiable Credential defines trust model of an ACCOUNT. NIST 800 63 does not clearly define ACCOUNT.
When designing the guideline for DADE, I think this question of “How to describe an ACCOUNT” will come up and I think, it will be useful to for OIDF to just define it, once and for all.
Here is a list of attributes related to ACCOUNT.
