Details
The guidance (‘the attributes guidance’) is written for ASPs certified against the DVS trust framework and describes a methodology for creating, binding, scoring and sharing attributes.
This is the pre-release of the 1.0 publication of attributes guidance. It coincides with the publication of the pre-release of the 1.0 UK digital verification services trust framework. It has been published for business readiness purposes.
Once Conformity Assessment Bodies (CABs) have been accredited to certify services against the 1.0 trust framework publication and certifications can proceed against it, this guidance will be republished and clearly labelled as the final publication.
Services demonstrating compliance with the attributes guidance as part of certification against the 1.0 trust framework will have to comply with this version of the guidance.
This is the first version-controlled publication of the attributes guidance. The most recent non-numbered version of the attributes guidance was comprised of three different publications (titled ‘Understanding attributes’, ‘How to create and share attributes’ and ‘How to score attributes’) which can be found on GOV.UK. Those three publications are collectively, from the date of this publication, to be considered as the 0.4 version of the attributes guidance.
