         36 . A system as in  claim 31 , wherein the providing of one or more specifications and/or one or more resources enables a credential holder person to hold one or more credentials that inform users of the credentials regarding the credential holder person's domain authority expertise one or more attributes. 
     
     
         37 . A system as in  claim 31 , wherein the providing of one or more specifications and/or one or more resources enables the holder to securely present to a verifying authority a credential, wherein the credential comprises a subset of the holder's characterizing attributes. 
     
     
         38 . A system as in  claim 31 , wherein the providing of one or more specifications and/or one or more resources enables specifying the test methods as standardized methods. 
     
     
         39 . A system as in  claim 31 , wherein the providing of one or more specifications and/or one or more resources enables employing tamper resistant processing and memory space for decryption and rules processing. 
     
     
         40 . A system as in  claim 31 , wherein the providing of one or more specifications and/or one or more resources enables securely matching a contextual purpose expression against holder credential information to identify resource one or more entities that have user purpose satisfying characteristics. 
     
     
         41 . A system as in  claim 38 , wherein the providing of one or more specifications and/or one or more resources enables a cloud service authority to specify standardized test methods. 
     
     
         42 . A method for reliably providing credential data as attribute information of specified credential holders, the method comprising:
 providing, through the use of one or more computing arrangements respectively including at least one hardware processor, at least one memory, and at least one communication means, one or more specifications and/or one or more resources that at least in part specify and/or provide tamper resistant secure mechanisms for:   a credential issuing authority to stipulate specific one or more attributes descriptive of a subject credential holder to provide the holder's credential with holder attribute factual claim information;   employing one or more secure verification test methods to, at least in part, verify that the credential issuing authority issued the credential attribute information to the credential holder, the one or more test methods performed (i) by respective one or more credential issuing authorities that stipulated the credential holder's one or more attributes, or (ii) by one or more credential attribute information registry services;   biometrically identifying, using a sensor arrangement, the holder user of the credential, wherein sensor generated biometric identification information is used to establish the holder's specific person identity;   employing a test method set to ensure that one or more biometrically identified stakeholder persons of the issuing authority certified the respective one or more credential claims for respective holders;   employing a test method set to validate that the one or more stakeholder credential issuer persons respectively hold one or more credentials demonstrating their authority to issue the subject credential holder's credential;   storing cryptographically protected credential related information;   specifying time-based expiring of a holder attribute; and   revoking a credential holder's one or more credential attributes.   
     
     
         43 . A method as in  claim 42 , wherein the providing of one or more specifications and/or one or more resources enables providing, using the tamper resistant secure mechanisms, credential information to a credential receiving user to filter, sort, prioritize, and/or otherwise aid in the arrangement of plural holders as candidate resources for user purpose fulfillment based on verified credential holder one or more attributes. 
     
     
         44 . A method as in  claim 42 , wherein the providing of one or more specifications and/or one or more resources enables selectively disclosing credential information portions on need-to-know basis. 
     
     
         45 . A method as in  claim 42 , wherein the providing of one or more specifications and/or one or more resources enables a user and/or stakeholder to employ a standardized credential test method for ensuring a standardized security reliability level. 
     
     
         46 . A method as in  claim 42 , wherein the providing of one or more specifications and/or one or more resources enables stakeholders in respective resource entities to be credential holders, wherein the entities are filtered, sorted, prioritized, and/or otherwise managed by a resource user as candidate resources at least in part based upon the holders' respective credential information. 
     
     
         47 . A method as in  claim 42 , wherein the providing of one or more specifications and/or one or more resources enables a credential holder person to hold one or more credentials that inform users of the credentials regarding the credential holder person's domain authority expertise one or more attributes. 
     
     
         48 . A method as in  claim 42 , wherein the providing of one or more specifications and/or one or more resources enables the holder to securely present to a verifying authority a credential, wherein the credential comprises a subset of the holder's characterizing attributes.
