Statement (Single phrase or sentence)

Verifiers shall identify themselves to the Holder with enough detail in the context of the transaction to help the Holder to make a decision to proceed with the transaction.

Another context might be a medical office. The Holder can verify that they are in the stadium or the doctor’s office themselves and the Holder Agent should be able to validate that.

Verifiers should provide levels of assurance about their identity based on the operational context.
