news:
This standard defines a profile of OpenID for Verifiable Credentials, combining IETF SD-JWT VC and ISO mdoc formats to ensure interoperability among Issuers, Wallets, and Verifiers. It aims to provide a high level of security and privacy by profiling existing specifications like OpenID for Verifiable Credential Issuance (OID4VCI) and OpenID for Verifiable Presentations (OID4VP). The latest update removes SIOPv2 and reorganizes sections for better clarity and focus.
