• Main Identity WG
  • Meeting Notes:  2021-0203-17
    • Kaliya "Identity Woman" Young presents her new paper on VC Flavors.
      • The first part of the paper elaborates on the following three data formats of VCs by walking through a credential lifecycle:
        • JSON-LD family with LD Signatures or with BBS+ Signatures that enable Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKP or ZKPs)
        • JSON with JSON Web Signatures, precisely in the form of a JSON Web Token (JWT)
        • ZKP with Camenisch-Lysyanskaya Signatures (ZKP-CL)
      • The second part discusses at length the differences between JSON and JSON-LD and the differences between the two different ways to express ZKPs, namely ZKP-CL and the newest flavor JSON-LD ZKP with BBS+.
