I'll note that they list these groups in their Liaison section (a good thing!): * W3C Credentials Community Group (active) – DID * W3C Verifiable Credentials Working Group (in maintenance mode) – Verifiable Credentials ... but don't mention the DID WG, which is a bit strange, but they do mention CCG, which is broader. I suggest they add the DID WG as a Liaison since it's the official group in charge of DIDs (in addition to CCG). The "Algo Paper" seems quite conservative... it doesn't even mention EdDSA and chooses to stay w/ the older (15-20+ years old) X.9/NIST standards -- RSA and ECDSA. Even NIST, known for moving at a glacial pace wrt. cryptography, has included EdDSA in their latest draft of supported algorithms[1]. I guess if we want to push the envelope wrt. cryptographic algorithms, ETSI is definitely not the place to do it. :) -- manu [1]https://nvlpubs.nist.gov/nistpubs/FIPS/NIST.FIPS.186-5-draft.pdf -- Manu Sporny - https://www.linkedin.com/in/manusporny/ Founder/CEO - Digital Bazaar, Inc.
