with both of them, so it's important neither Carol or Oscar know who else
Alice has shared her `resume` with, despite having [=read access=] to it.

### Limiting access to other authorization conditions ### {#uc-historyofchanges}

As an extension of [[#uc-whopermitted]], it is also important to Alice that
that neither Carol nor Oscar be able to discern other characteristics of
the [=authorizations=] or conditions associated
with Alice's `resume`.

For example, if the data Carol and Oscar saw in the resume was
[[#conditional-filter|filtered]] to only show a certain subset of her
background, she wouldn't want them to know that they were only seeing
a filtered view.
### Minimal Credential Disclosure ### {#uc-minimalcredentials}

Following a link on a blog post, Alice comes to a resource that requires
authentication. She could present one of many verifiable credentials (as per
[[#capabilities-vc]]): three self-signed WebID credentials, four bank accounts,
a drivers licence, two passports, a proof that she is over 18, a credential
for her college and her university diploma, three club memberships as well
as her FBI credential. The resource only requires proof of being over 18.
Her client's credential manager should see this and select
the credential revealing the least amount of information needed to access
the resource.
