Re: [PROPOSED WORK ITEM] Cryptographic Event Log

Something that is clear from the spec but not specifically called out in
this thread. This cryptographic event log uses data integrity proofs and
there is no other available standard that meets that criteria other than
what we’ve defined in did:webvh. If there is I would be interested in
seeing it!
