A diversifier is a set of additional attributes (next to the base identity) that is used to form a pseudonym. 

Diversifiers are used in (Direct) Encrypted Pseudnonyms (see Encrypted structures) and can be present as key-headers within DRKi and Migration Keys (see DV-key format). Within the structures and key-headers, the Diversifiers are represented as a list of key-value pairs.

The following rules apply to all diversifiers:

  • Diversifiers MUST be sorted by key alphabetically ascending
  • Keys MUST be unique within the list

  • Both keys and values MUST conform to the following Syntax in ABNF ( https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5234) :

    ABNF
    ADDITIONAL     = "!" / %x22 / "#" / "%" / "&" / "'" / "(" / ")" / "*"/ "+" / "-" / "." / ":" / ";" / "<" / ">" / "?" / "@" / "[" / "\" / "]" / "^" / "_" / "`" / "{" / "|" / "}" / "~"
ALPHA          =  %x41-5A / %x61-7A   ; A-Z / a-z
DIGIT          =  %x30-39 ; 0-9

SP             =  %x20 
HTAB           =  %x09
WSP 		   = SP / HTAB
NWSP 		   =  ALPHA/ DIGIT / ADDITIONAL ; All but whitespace


DIVERSIFIER_KEY_CONTENT = ALPHA / DIGIT [*(ALPHA / DIGIT)] ; Diversifier Keys must match this format. MUST not start or end with whitespace. At least 1 ALPHA  / DIGIT

DIVERSIFIER_VALUE_CONTENT = NWSP [*(NWSP / WSP) NWSP] ; Diversifier Values must match this format. MUST not start or end with whitespace. At least 1 NWSP.
