Use of cryptography with W3C VCs and DIDs released

SRI International has publicly released their independent review on the use of
cryptography in W3C VCs and DIDs and made some recommendations:

Cryptography Review of W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model (VCDM) and
Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) Standards and Cryptography Implementation
Recommendations by David Balenson & Nick Genise

It's largely a view from the US NIST cybersecurity standards, which are used
through most of the world, but not everywhere. In any case, it's a valuable
perspective that I hope the VC2WG and DIDWG takes into the next stage of the work.
