Leonard, do you have any publicly accessible documentation related to signature schemes adopted as part of the EIDAS v2 regulations? That would be helpful guidance for this community to keep in mind while we do the VCWG 2.0 work (which involves standardizing cryptographic suites, which use already approved IETF CFRG signature schemes, which I imagine are used by EIDAS v2). > So it will indeed be quite a while before one could use these legally in > the EU (or other countries that have adopted ETSI signature and identity > standards). If we go back to the start of this thread, the whole concept was to use adopted signature standards while providing next-generation experimental ones. This turns the traditional multi-decade step-wise digital signature approach into a more continuous / tighter-cycle signature scheme upgrade experience. It doesn't need to be either/or / zero-sum (which is the state we're in now with digital signature mechanisms), but rather, with the Data Integrity work, we can turn it into a "Yes, and..."... that is, "Yes, here's the officially accepted signature, AND a more cutting-edge one for those organizations that are more comfortable on the leading edge." Hopefully, that isn't getting lost in the thread. :) -- manu -- Manu Sporny - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manusporny/ Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc.
