Digital Identity and Credentials

Within the Topic facet, Digital Identity and Credentials topic intelligence connects articles that share a specific subject, signal focus, or monitoring theme. The page gives readers a richer path through related reporting, source evidence, market actors, and infrastructure implications, with enough context to understand why the topic matters across company movements, governance decisions, regional exposure, and operational risk. Readers can compare recurring signals, affected organisations, public evidence, market context, service continuity, procurement, competition, compliance, and strategic planning questions behind the subject instead of stopping at a thin list of matching articles. It explains what the topic covers, which infrastructure actors or policies are involved, what evidence supports the coverage, and why the subject may matter for operators, customers, investors, and policy readers.

Reveal Less, Prove Enough: RFC 9901 and the Control Surface of Selective Disclosure

One issuer-signed credential can disclose an address to one verifier and a birthdate to another because its signed JSON carries salted digests while the holder presents only selected cleartext Disclosures. That mechanism is defined by RFC 9901, an IETF Standards Track…
