Introduction
In privacy regulations and for decentralized identity, transparency is a key requirement. As identifiers are personal, used to track, surveil and profile its not only important to know who controls personal information, but it's required for consent, a critical component of security and a pre-requisite for digital privacy. Most notices, notifications, T&C's don't use standards to provide the transparency over who control's personal information.
This is the focus of the Kantara ANCR Record, which is the prefix to consent receipts.
This controller credential utilizes a reference architecture that began with 1980 OECD Guidelines, and has been worked on for international /internet scalable data governance. This work has driven regulatory reform and convergence internationally. GDPR refer framework for digital.
This controller credential specification extends this international governance standard to the Trust over IP Governance Framework and is used to generate purpose specific micro-credentials for the governance of digital information with SSI's. This enables the use of this reference architecture to scale analogue notice and consent to electronic eNotice and eConsent for digital exchanges and interoperability.

- 0PN Transparency WG: Decentralized Data Governance
- eNotice and eConsent identity & data governance information structure
- ISO/IEC 29100
- ISO/IEC 29100:2011 provides a privacy framework which. specifies a common privacy terminology; defines the actors and their roles in processing personally identifiable information (PII); describes privacy safeguarding considerations; and. provides references to known privacy principles for information technology.
- ISO/IEC 29184 Online Privacy Notice & Consent
- ISO/IEC 27560 WD 5 Consent record information structure
- ISO 27002 Series : WG 5 SC27
- ISO 27001 sets forth the compliance requirements needed to become certified. In contrast, ISO 27002 is a set of guidelines that are designed to help you introduce and implement ISMS best practices.

Specification Overview
This specification builds upon the Kantara ANCR Record specification (and Consent Reciept)(ref) to build a notice controller credential for specifying all of the PII Controller's information in a eNotice record.
The ANCR Record provides Consent Types to anchor a trust record, which the individual owns and controls In a personal data store and profile.
The Record and Receipt specification uses ISO/IEC 29100 Security and Privacy techniques ref (free ISO specification) terms and definitions to identify the legal stakeholders(ref) and their roles in the processing and control of personal information. Using international standards for creation of a regulated data controller credential and for its utility in generating eNotice records and eConsent receipts.

This credential is for transparency and accountability for data (and identifier) governance,
The eNotice (PII) Controller Cresdential, is used to generate eNotice record, for micro-credential PII Principal
- PII Controller Identifier [DiD]
- Credential ID
- Accountable Person
- Accountable Person role
- Controller Notice Record Identifier
- As a DiD: Verified Credential
- Controller Type[Ctype]:
- Notice Controller,
- PII notice controller,
- PII controller,
- PII surveillance controller , (info not provided by PII Principle)
- [Ctype] controller operator,
- Accountable Person Type
Assessment
ANCR Record provides a PII Controller Digital privacy transparency KPI, be assessing a notice for digital and physical controller identification and privacy access information, as required for the operational use and management of digital identifiers.
The Controller Credential assessment tests this credential for its transparency performance.
Security Considerations
The use of blinding identity taxonomy for personal identifiers includes the Accountable person identifiers, which are required to be published and available in accordance to local legislation.
The identifiers used in the controller credential are specified according to regulation and implemented with standards in order to be subject to regulation and regulatory considerations,
Mitigation Risk
Using standard framework for transparency of control with data control defaults
Examples
- Security,
Controller Credential
Micro-Credential
defined as a credential specified to a specific purpose.
