RE: Support for Verifiable Claims

Hello all,

as expressed in various meetings already, Deutsche Telekom supports the development of a specification for verifiable claims and, thus, votes +1 on the charter found at http://w3c.github.io/webpayments-ig/VCTF/charter/.


We believe that the notion of claims and credentials should clearly be modelled to allow for ‘possession’ by the instance that it pertains to (in particular if the ‘instance’ is a human). We believe that W3C working on this standard will deliver a clear value to the advancement of user-control and transparency in the digital world.

Kind regards,
Jörg Heuer
