Self-asserted attributes... can you help?


Can you help with this one?

I'm looking for example of where a Relying Party might trust a self-assertion by you more than they would trust the same assertion made by a third party. I'm sure there are such cases, but the counter-examples are much easier to come up with...

1 - the barman doesn't trust my son's self-assertion that he's over 18 unless it's backed up by an assertion from some person or agency the barman has reason to believe would know my son's age.

 2 -  if my son produces a credential issued by www.dodgyID.net, the Relying Party would probably trust neither of them...

Answers via the comments field, please...

Smoke fewer pigs...


It seems that smoking is bad for your lungs - even if it's a pig that gets smoked. Apparently research has revealed a link between high consumption of cured meat and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The cause may be the higher levels of nitrites in the cured meat products.
