Cross-origin resource sharing</a> (CORS). This specification allows for the
cross-origin resource sharing of verification methods and service endpoints,
which means that correlatable identifiers might be shared between origins. While
resource sharing can lead to positive security outcomes (reduced cryptographic

same-origin bound cryptographic key would suffice.
