Decision

What the current evidence supports

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

Use for a version-pinned credential pilot with explicit trust and privacy requirements.

Why
Conformance records and controlled implementation tests show practical progress, while the evolving specification and incomplete deployment validation limit broader reliance.
Next
Align issuer, wallet and verifier revisions; test key binding, rejection cases, metadata, issuer trust, revocation and privacy behavior across vendors.

Constraints

Blockers

  • Draft revisions require coordinated issuer, wallet and verifier updates.
  • HAIP certification coverage must be matched to the intended SD-JWT VC revision.
  • Repeated presentations can remain linkable.
  • Offline checks can miss later revocations or issuer-key changes.
  • Metadata, trust establishment and complete security behavior need deployment-specific validation.
