Then you agree with our approach. You hold the proof, there is an
acknowledged location that serves verification material. And anyone holding
a liability can demonstrate the claims to be true at anytime with any
device with math. Claim being the government recognizes you as the parent.

I will try to formalize the end-to-end lifecycle in a way that fits EUDI's
technical requirements. Or rather just demonstrate the same trust level
that is already guaranteed by our suggestions and just indicate how small
changes of definitions / words in the law make the suggestion fit the
requirements. Will take sometime tho, but I think it is worth it.
