<ul>
<li>
<p>
At least one securing mechanism, and the details necessary

Methods of securing credentials or presentations that embed
a proof in the data model MUST use the proof property.

<p>
Methods of securing credentials or presentations that use an
external proof MAY use the proof property.

<li>
<p>
One or more cryptographic proofs that can be used to detect
tampering and verify the authorship of a credential or
presentation. The specific method used for an embedded proof
MUST be included using the type property.

The presence of the JSON <code>proof</code> member does not
convey a cryptographic verification capability exists.
