Passkeys and Verifiable Digital Credentials (VDCs) are not competing technologies. They’re complementary tools that, together, help form a stronger, privacy-first digital identity ecosystem. To help clarify this, the FIDO Alliance Government Deployment Working Group has published a white paper on "Passkeys and Verifiable Digital Credentials: A Harmonized Path to Secure Digital Identity", which lays out how organizations can start adopting these technologies today.
By combining VDCs and passkeys in a way that lets them do what they do best (VDCs = verifiable, selective disclosure of identity attributes to prove who you are; passkeys = seamless, phishing-resistant authentication for everyday logins), they enable a secure, interoperable model that balances trust, convenience, and privacy across use cases from onboarding to high-risk transactions.
Check out the excellent work of the many contributors, and join the conversation at this years Authenticate conference

What creates the spark behind an illustration? There’s nothing I love better than playing idea ping-pong with a co-collaborator.

This illustration was created for a series of credentialing workshops with Badge guru Doug Belshaw for the N-TUTORR project.

> [Verifiable Credentials] allow for selective disclosure of information. For example, instead of handing over your entire driver’s license at a bar (which has a picture of you, your address, etc.), you can selectively disclose that you are of drinking age.

My colleague Gertjan De Mulder is presenting the work on using #VerifiableCredentials in #Solid pods with #LinkedDataNotifications at the SDS Workshop! In this work, the proof of a credential is stored in Solid pods to allow proving if a patient has a medical subscription to buy certain medication or proof that a job applicant has a diploma or skills for the job they are applying to.

I’ve got far more to say about this than the space I’ve got here on Thought Shrapnel. This article from edX is in the emerging paradigm exemplified by initiatives such as Credential As You Go, which encourages academic institutions to issue smaller credentials or badges as the larger qualification progresses.
That’s one, important, […]

Purdue University had something like this almost a decade ago, but there’s even more call for this kind of thing now, post-pandemic and in a Verifiable Credentials landscape.
Everyone’s addicted to marrying ‘skills’ with ‘jobs’ but I think there’s definitely an Open Recognition aspect to all of this.

After nearly two months without, we just did 2023's first #KBW #community call and it was just awesome. Talked about #recognition in the workplace, what AI developments mean for learning and so much more. Join us next time!! https://badges.community #verifiablecredentials #openrecognition #openbadges

Just issued a couple more Badge Wiki Barn Raiser badges. Love having new folks come and hack with us! #keepbadgesweird #openbadges #openrecognition #verifiablecredentials https://blog.weareopen.coop/creating-a-culture-of-recognition-39ffdb6cf943
