<p>

<a>Verifiable credentials</a> are intended as a means of reliably identifying
2051+
subjects. Whilst it is recognized that Role Based Access Controls (RBAC) and
2052+
Attribute Based Access Controls (ABAC) rely on this identification as a means
2053+
of authorizing subjects to access resources, this specification
2054+
MUST NOT be used for authorization purposes without an accompanying
2055+
authorization framework.

The Working Group did consider authorization use cases during the creation of
2060+
this specification and is pursuing that work as an architectural layer that is
2061+
built on top of this specification.
