## Background

### Do passports capture details of access grants, such as data use and required vetting?

Passports convey a grant to access data. They do not currently attempt to communicate any conditions or details of the approval process.

Authorizations for researcher identities ("the collection of researchers that may access the dataset" as described in the DURI vision statement) are approved by a data custodian or data access committee (sometimes using an approval management system like DUOS or REMS). The approvals can be contingent on factors such as:

* intended data use (in data access request) matches permitted data use (in data set metadata)
* researcher reputation
* identity proofing (verification)
* etc.

Some of these details could, in a future revision, be communicated in the passport for enforcement by the passport clearinghouse.

### Why Brokers?

We have found that there are widely used Identity Providers (IdP).
