Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Too early to adopt

Why
It is a pre-demonstration concept paper, not a deployable artifact; its eventual NCCoE practical guide is the thing worth adopting, and that is many months out — but tracking the standards shortlist now de-risks our DID/credential design.
Next
Read the concept paper and watch which standards (OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SCIM, SPIFFE/SPIRE) the demonstration converges on; align trust-authority agent-identity design to those rather than waiting for the practical guide.
