Definition

Mastodon supports integration with identity providers to prove that a profile is linked to a certain identity. This is implemented using the attachment property on actor objects, with objects in the array having a type of IdentityProof from the Mastodon namespace. The object also includes signatureAlgorithm and signatureValue from the W3ID Security Vocabulary namespace.
see mastodon documentation 'Identity proofs'
