New standards like to talk about the Verifier rather than the Relying Party for reasons known only to them.

Problems

• The Verifier could be limited to just the role played by any Entity in assuring that the data received meets its own criteria for acceptance.
• Some verticals, like finance and health, are highly regulated and typically require that their data controllers are certified for conformance with very restrictive regulations. Others have lighter regulation like the US Federal Trade commission.
