Abstract

A computer-implemented method, according to one embodiment, includes: receiving a request to verify authenticity of a credential that indicates that an associated holder has a set of certified attributes. In response to determining that the credential has not been compromised, current trustees that are associated with the credential are determined. Additionally, a determination is made as to whether the current trustees are trusted. In response to determining that one or more of the current trustees are not trusted, alternate trustees of the credential are determined. Moreover, these alternate trustees are used as updated current trustees to confirm authenticity of the credential.
