I have merged the proposal of @dlongley but I am not absolutely sure this is 100% correct. Let us take the hypothetical situation as follows.

  • I use a securing mechanism using proof from DI with one of the cryptosuites.
  • I also use, in the same VP (or VC) a securing mechanism that defined by the property signature.

Question: does proof have to also secure the proof graph defined by signature? In my original text, which explicitly lists what has to be secured, the answer is 'no'. In the text proposed by @dlongley the answer is, actually, 'yes'. I believe the intention is 'no', because the goal is to secure the core information in the VC/VP, but that requires an explicit listing of what is secured...

We should close this PR without merge, and concentrate on the more comprehensive #1519 instead.

The discussion has clearly moved to #1519, closing this PR without further action, to avoid misunderstandings.
