This team has been implementing and testing VC specification drafts for the last 3-4 years. Come to hear their story about lessons learned and challenges encountered, as I present results from interviewing five individuals with various backgrounds.
I am interviewing a team that has been eagerly following the development of specifications for both verifiable credential issuance and verifiable presentations. Come to hear me tell their story of working with wallets during the last few years of drafts, interoperability challenges and use case experiments. They have been working on verifiable credential playground tools in which they aim to do compatible issuance and presentations across wallet implementations. In this session I will walk through how this development team as implementers have experienced the draft process of OpenID specs, and the wallet / VC community at large.
Elias has been working closely with OAuth 2.0, OpenID connect and other IAM-related specifications since 2018. Last year he also started diving into the verifiable credentials specifications that are relevant in the eIDAS 2.0 & EUDI standards that will be launched in Europe in the next few years. He is passionate about the complexities and values involved with digital identity technologies and feels very excited for what is coming.
