This is the payee-side equivalent of [LUD-18](18.md). It gives the opportunity for the payer to request that the payee provide identitifying information before the payment is made. This allows the sending `WALLET` to show information about the receiver in order to allow the payer to verify that they are paying the correct entity. This also gives the opportunity for the payee to authorize themselves via a challenge-response mechanism to provide some ensurance that `SERVICE` has not been compromised.

I'm not totally sure I want to mention this since it doesn't actually provide much assurance there except against particular types of attacks, where the sender already knows and remembered the payer's signing public key retrieved from some other mechanism.

Considering changing the name k1 here to avoid confusion with LUD-04, since it's serving a slightly different purpose. Seeking opinions.

FYI this is now live in UMA v1 and VASPs are rolling it out. Xapo, Ripio, and Bitnob are upgraded and several more are on the way. |
