Hi Boris, I agree these are desired realities. > Within an EUDI Wallet, a DID can be generated and a credential can be issued to that DID and stored in the wallet, provided the issuer considers it conformant. Yes, a DID or VC can be generated anywhere and moved anywhere. > This credential can operate independently from the PID or any QEAA residing in the wallet. The trust level, however, would depend on the issuance framework and assurance level applied by the issuer. Of course, a DID has no inherent trust built-in other than the ability to prove control of that DID. Only after a verifiable credential that matters to the verifier specifically is issued to the DID by an issuer that matters to the verifier can the verifier associate a level of assurance/trust to a DID and then verify that the entity presenting themselves as the DID has access to the verifiable private key of that DID. For Steffen, > to make it even more complex: you could also put the trust on kind of DID – standard compliant or not 😉 Yes, if active holdership is not provable through cryptography and the DID document’s history is not tamper-evident, it obviously cannot be trusted. So a standard, widely trusted DID method matters. > Global Trust I guess would be defined on standardization level not legislation. What and who is trusted is a matter of governmental jurisdictions or overall domain specific questions, legislation overlap may or may not happen, trust towards same issuers and relevancy of claims may or may not happen. How claims that assert these trust statements look, and how they are verified in a globally interoperable way, including what an issuer and a subject look like, are matters of technical standardization. I'm super glad to hear these are goals within the EU, I'm interested: How likely will they get adopted or are they already being implemented to EUDIW / eIDAS? Regards, Jori
