Decision

What the current evidence supports

Agent-assisted assessment · independently reviewed · 2026-10-01

Use Draft v0.1 for bounded prototypes and interoperability testing.

Why
Inspectable tests demonstrate limited credential interoperability and rejection behavior, while compatibility defects and operational security responsibilities remain.
Next
Pin exact versions, reproduce rejection tests, resolve SD-JWT compatibility and assess key custody, trust roots and merchant enforcement before using real funds.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Draft credential formats and implementations may change.
  • Newer SD-JWT verifier compatibility remains a documented obstacle.
  • Key management, enrollment and trust-root governance require separate infrastructure.
  • Current tests cover a limited autonomous credential flow.
  • Authorization proofs do not establish correct agent reasoning or resolve disputes.
