Hi all,
Subject Identifiers will be used in various specifications about events
pertaining to those subject identifiers. In order to determine the scope of
the event, it is important to know what the transmitter of the event that
includes the subject identifier refers to.

For example, when a subject identifier specifies a phone number as the
identifier, is the transmitter of the event that includes such a subject
identifier specifying the user or the device represented by the subject
identifier.

Since this is a property of the subject rather than the event, it should be
logically included in the subject identifier spec. Therefore, I'm proposing
that we include a "subject category" claim within the subject identifier.
The subject category could have one of the following values:

   - *User*
   - *Device*
   - *Session*

The above values are sufficient for the SSE profile, but other values may
be possible (although such a possibility is not a part of my proposal
<https://github.com/richanna/secevent/pull/1>).

Thanks,
Atul
