Application: Sharing security settings between entities using verifiable credentials (Patent ID: US20240171406A1)
The patent filed by Microsoft describes a system where verifiable credentials are exchanged between entities to assess and verify the security posture of the second entity based on security settings implemented. The first verifiable credential, signed by the first entity using a decentralized identifier, includes a security indicator specifying the security posture of the second entity. A second verifiable credential embedding the first one is generated and provided to a third entity for verification, ensuring compliance with the security policies of the third entity.
The system involves the use of decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and public keys to verify the validity of the verifiable credentials exchanged between entities. The security indicator in the credentials specifies the security posture of the second entity based on implemented security settings. The exchange of verifiable credentials allows for the assessment of security compliance and posture, facilitating secure interactions between entities based on established security policies and settings.
