1//! # Credentials
2//!
3//! A [`Credential`] contains identifying information about the client that
4//! created it. [`Credential`]s represent clients in MLS groups and are used to
5//! authenticate their messages. Each
6//! [`KeyPackage`](crate::key_packages::KeyPackage), as well as each client
7//! (leaf node) in the group (tree), contains a [`Credential`] and is
8//! authenticated.
9//!
10//! The [`Credential`] must be checked by an authentication server and the
11//! application. This process is out of scope for MLS.
12//!
13//! Clients can create a [`Credential`].
14//!
15//! The MLS protocol allows the [`Credential`] representing a client in a group
16//! to change over time. Concretely, members can issue an Update proposal or a
17//! Full Commit to update their [`LeafNode`],
18//! including the [`Credential`] in it. The Update must be authenticated using
19//! the signature public key corresponding to the old [`Credential`].
20//!
21//! When receiving a credential update from another member, applications must
22//! query the Authentication Service to ensure the new credential is valid.
23//!
24//! There are multiple [`CredentialType`]s, although OpenMLS currently only
25//! supports the [`BasicCredential`].
