FYI. If you are an AC rep, you have received the call for vote; please do! Otherwise, try to convince your AC representative (if applicable) to do so… Thanks to all Ivan > Begin forwarded message: > > From: xueyuan <xueyuan@w3.org> > Subject: announced - Re: AC Announcement draft and the WBS form for the VC PR > Date: 20 March 2025 at 08:36:20 GMT+1 > To: Ivan Herman <ivan@w3.org> > Cc: W3C Communication Team <w3t-comm@w3.org>, W3C Chairs of VC WG <group-vc-wg-chairs@w3.org> > Resent-From: group-vc-wg-chairs@w3.org > Archived-At: <https://www.w3.org/mid/d0e3e149-f813-4075-bb39-f624f14e98d7@w3.org> > List-Id: <group-vc-wg-chairs.w3.org> > Message-Id: <d0e3e149-f813-4075-bb39-f624f14e98d7@w3.org> > List-Unsubscribe: <mailto:group-vc-wg-chairs-request@w3.org?subject=unsubscribe> > > Hi Ivan, > > Following the publication, these PRs have been announced to AC and Chairs (WBS open): > https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/w3c-ac-members/2025JanMar/0073.html > https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Member/chairs/2025JanMar/0098.html > > W3C homepage news is at: > https://www.w3.org/news/2025/seven-proposed-recommendations-published-by-the-verifiable-credentials-working-group/ > > Best, > Xueyuan > > > On 3/17/25 11:24 PM, Ivan Herman wrote: >> Thanks Xueyuan, >> >> it looks o.k. to me; my only comment is related to the JOSE/COSE entry: I know the editors put formal references in the abstract (resulting in [VC-DATA-MODEL-2.0] and the likes) but for the sake of consistency with the others we may want to remove them. >> >> Thanks again! >> >> Ivan >> >>> On 17 Mar 2025, at 10:26, xueyuan <xueyuan@w3.org> <mailto:xueyuan@w3.org> wrote: >>> >>> Hi Ivan, >>> >>> While PR is intended for Member review, it's also an important milestone to inform the public so we also do HPN.

This specification describes the extensible data model for verifiable credentials, how they can be secured from tampering, and a three-party ecosystem for the exchange of these credentials that is composed of issuers, holders, and verifiers. This document also covers a variety of security, privacy, internationalization, and accessibility considerations for ecosystems that use the technologies described in this specification. >>> >>> * Verifiable Credential Data Integrity 1.0: This specification describes mechanisms for ensuring the authenticity and integrity of verifiable credentials and similar types of constrained digital documents using cryptography, especially through the use of digital signatures and related mathematical proofs. >>> >>> * Data Integrity EdDSA Cryptosuites v1.0: This specification describes Data Integrity cryptographic suites for use when creating or verifying a digital signature using the the Ed25519 instantiation of the Edwards-Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA). >>> >>> * Data Integrity ECDSA Cryptosuites v1.0: This specification describes Data Integrity cryptosuites for use when generating a digital signature using the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA). >>> >>> * Securing Verifiable Credentials using JOSE and COSE: This specification defines how to secure credentials and presentations conforming to the Verifiable Credential data model [VC-DATA-MODEL-2.0] with JSON Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE), Selective Disclosure for JWTs [SD-JWT], and CBOR Object Signing and Encryption (COSE) [RFC9052]. This enables the Verifiable Credential data model [VC-DATA-MODEL-2.0] to be implemented with standards for signing and encryption that are widely adopted. >>> >>> * Controlled Identifiers v1.0: A controlled identifier document contains cryptographic material and lists service endpoints for the purposes of verifying cryptographic proofs from, and interacting with, the controller of an identifier. >>> >>> * Bitstring Status List v1.0: This specification describes a privacy-preserving, space-efficient, and high-performance mechanism for publishing status information such as suspension or revocation of Verifiable Credentials through use of bitstrings. >>> === >>> >>> Best, >>> Xueyuan >>> >>> On 3/12/25 7:07 PM, Ivan Herman wrote: >>>> I must admit I did not think we make an HPN announcement for a PR as well.
