0515 - Selective encryption of authentication vs authenticator fields in certifications
Summary: Certification elements may have distinct subfields—such as an authentication field (e.g., a digital signature) and an authenticator identity field—that can be selectively encrypted. The system supports encrypting the authentication field, the authenticator field, both, or neither, depending on privacy and authorization requirements. This enables fine-grained disclosure of who certified versus what was certified.
