OP Metadata Basic Information
OpenID4VCI defines new OP Metadata to convey a display name (in multiple languages) for the issuer. This mechanism may be of independent interest to retrieve information about an OAuth 2.0 Authorization Server or an OpenID Provider.
There are also some other values which one might like to include here. Ideas:
- A logo for the OP
- A preferred “Login with X” graphic
- A link to the identity provider’s homepage
- …
Note the similarity of some of these to the client metadata values logo_uri
or client_uri
. In fact, some values like policy_uri
already have analogues in the server metadata (op_policy_uri
).

reporter Yes, I am proposing to add parameters to the OP metadata not just for the SSI use cases, but for any OPs. Something similar already exists for RPs in the client registration metadata ([about
policy_uri
](https://www.iana.org/assignments/oauth-parameters/oauth-parameters.xhtml#client-metadata)) to display information about a client to a user e.g. during the authorization code flow. The RP wanting to utilize an OP may similarly want to display information about the OP to the user before starting such a flow.About the logo: Do you have a reference for me? I was unable to find anything in https://www.iana.org/assignments/oauth-parameters/oauth-parameters.xhtml#authorization-server-metadata

- changed component to Credential Issuance

Any standard OAuth parameter, including
policy_uri
can be used with OpenID4VCI which is OAuth basedVCI defined OP metadata, including logo_uri in this section: https://openid.net/specs/openid-4-verifiable-credential-issuance-1_0.html#name-server-metadata and it already states
This section extends the server metadata [RFC8414]
. we can add these parameters to IANA later, but currently these parameters are defined in VCI so will not find them in IANA.hope this answers the issue
