<h3>Securing Algorithms</h3>

There are multiple ways that the information in Section

upon in the

When securing a <a>verifiable credential</a> that contains a reference to
a <a href="#bitstringstatuslistcredential">BitstringStatusListCredential</a>,
implementers SHOULD use the same securing mechanism with the same
cryptographic parameters and the same media type for both
