Description

https://openid.net/specs/openid4vc-high-assurance-interoperability-profile-1_0.html#section-4.4.1 doesn't contain these two items:

  1. The X.509 certificate of the trust anchor MUST NOT be included in the x5c JOSE header of the key attestation.
  2. The X.509 certificate signing the key attestation MUST NOT be self-signed.

which I think we include everywhere else we mention the x5c Jose header. I think we probably intended these to be the case in this case too.

Research direction

Start with section 4.4.1 of the linked OpenID4VC High Assurance Interoperability Profile and compare its x5c JOSE header wording with the other places that mention x5c. The section is done when it explicitly includes both exclusions: no trust-anchor certificate in the key-attestation x5c header and no self-signed certificate for the key attestation.
