Very timely Manu...
The ETSI/ESI committee just had a meeting last week to discuss how technology such as VC, LD Proofs, and non-X.509-based certificates align (or not) with the current EU standards for Trust and Signatures. The result is that most likely one or more new work items will be created to study and/or start definition on some of these areas. It is important that alignment with international laws be a key requirement for our standards development - because if not, then adoption won't happen.
One thing that I think you call out - or at least that I take as a callout - from your deck is that Linked Data Security *MUST* be separated from this CG (as well as DID's, DLTs, etc.) and brought to standardization as a core set of capabilities that serve many use cases. Keeping them tied to Credentials (etc.) will prevent them, IMO, from having the wider reach that they can and should have. I, for one, have already starting using the Multibase/Multihash and HashLink work in areas around Content Authenticity, and I am looking toward helping the work of CBOR-LD as well. With those building blocks in place, followed by the LD Sig and LD Proof work, and the various cryptosuites we will have some powerful tools that can applied in various & varied solutions.
As always, whatever I can to do help get new CG/WGs off the ground to work on these various aspects - count me in!
Leonard

The attached slide deck provides a basic overview (with examples) of Linked
Data Security as well as the specifications in that orbit. The W3C CCG is
actively developing a number of these specifications.
This deck might be used for a future presentation on the topic to the CCG.
