Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-06-28

Proceed with caution

Why
It is a Final OAuth-based spec with multi-format support, but lower interop (82%), a documented shared-nonce limitation, and unconstrained identifier handling make issuance less battle-tested than the presentation side.
Next
Prototype issuance for a single format (SD-JWT VC) using the HAIP profile, define explicit credential_identifier derivation rules, and assess the shared-c_nonce model against your proof-of-possession threat model before going to production.
