Abstract: We present architecture for a relying-party to manage credentials, and in particular to map different credentials into common format and semantics. This will allow use of simple, widely available credentials as well as more advanced credentials such as public key certificates, attribute certificates and 'negative' credentials (which result in reduced trust) such as certificate revocation lists (CRL). The core of the architecture is a Credential Manager who collects credentials, and maps them to common format and semantics.
