Select one from Multiple profiles when sending attrs. -User Feedback - 97% Users wanted to have a way to find out the trustworthiness of the RP Additional Features Requested Source: Based on the Report on Identity Federation Substantial Experiment by Nat Sakimura. 10 How? n Third Party Audit l E.g., Open Identity Trust Framework n Reputation Reputation is a subjective evaluation of the assertion about an entity being true based on factual and/or subjective data about it, and is used as one of the factors for establishing trust on that subject for a specific purpose. Reputation can be aggregated by rolling up opinions from smaller sets like individuals.

Source: ORMS TC, Use Cases by Nat Sakimura. 13 Protocol Requirements n PR1.The reputation consumer SHOULD be able to obtain the reputation file by specifying the assertion including the subject identifier. n PR2.Since the reputation data itself is often an sensitive data including PII, it SHOULD have the following security considerations: l SubjectID SHOULD be represented so that it cannot be traced back to the Subject, e.g., sha256(SubjectID, salt). This implies that the protocol should be a request-response protocol since otherwise the receiver cannot map the file to the Subject. l Be able to make the source detectable in the case of the leakage, the file should contain the requester ID. l To make the request forgery-proof, the request should contain the digital signature of the requesting party. l To protect from eavesdropping and MITM attacks, the response should be encrypted using a content encryption key (session key) which in turn is encrypted by the requesting partys public key. l Considering that the mere fact that an entity is requesting a reputation representation of the subject may be a privacy risk, the request probably should be encrypted in the same manner as the response, with reputation authoritys public key.
