The @w3c Verifiable Credentials #WorkingGroup has published the "Quantum-Resistant Cryptosuites v1.0" specification as First Public Working Draft #FPWD #timetogiveinput

▶️ https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-di-quantum-resistant-1.0/

The document brings post-quantum digital signatures to #VerifiableCredentials and other data payloads, helping organizations prepare for a future where today's elliptic curve #cryptography may no longer be sufficient.

The Verifiable Credentials Working Group published a First Public Working Draft of Recognized Entities v1.0.

This spec describes a data model with which one or more recognized entities, such as one or more persons and/or organizations, can be described as known to perform specific actions, such as issuing or verifying a verifiable credential. https://www.w3.org/news/2026/first-public-working-draft-recognized-entities-v1-0/

The @w3c Verifiable Credentials #WorkingGroup has published "Recognized Entities v1.0" #FPWD #timetogiveinput
▶️ https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-recognized-entities-1.0/

The spec. allows orgs or persons ("entities") to be described as issuer or verifier of #VerifiableCredentials recognized within a particular ecosystem (diplomas for ex.).

The data model enables privacy-preserving, cryptographically verifiable sharing of this info, enabling a range of use cases: https://w3c.github.io/vc-recognized-entities/use-cases

Another document published by the @w3c Verifiable Credentials #WorkingGroup: "Verifiable Credential Barcodes v1.0".
This specification defines how to embed #VerifiableCredentials in optical barcodes (like those on drivers' licenses) and secure them using a compact format that fit within 150 bytes and can be printed in standard 2D barcodes #FPWD #timetogiveinput

The @w3c Verifiable Credentials #WorkingGroup published VCALM 1.0. This spec. defines a standardized set of HTTP #APIs for managing the entire lifecycle of #VerifiableCredentials to improve #interoperability between systems. This covers issuance, presentation, verification, and exchange #timetogiveinput #FPWD

The Verifiable Credentials Working Group published a First Public Working Draft of Verifiable Credentials Data Model v2.1.

This specification describes the extensible data model for verifiable credentials, how they can be secured from tampering, and a three-party ecosystem for the exchange of these credentials that is composed of issuers, holders, and verifiers.

📆 1 April 2026 - tomorrow!
@p20n will present: "Unlocking Value with Emerging Technologies in Freight Forwarding" at the 2026 Intl Federation of Freight Forwarders Assoc meeting in Geneva 🇨🇭

He will present W3C's Verifiable Credentials family of specification, including the upcoming work of the newly rechartered Working Group in domains related to this event (such as the vocabularies for Digital Product Passports and for Business Wallets).

本人確認のデジタル化に向けた新たな一歩💡
金融庁が #VerifiableCredentials を用いた実証実験結果を公表しました。マイナンバーカードを用いた認証でなりすましリスクの低減を確認。犯収法への対応など実用化に向けた検証が進んでいます✅
