The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
The Digital Credentials API is a browser interface that lets a website request identity documents or attestations from a digital wallet held on the user's device or phone. The site issues a request through the browser, the user is shown a chooser to pick a wallet and approve exactly what is disclosed, and the wallet returns a signed presentation — keeping websites from probing or addressing wallets directly.
