At Talao, we are excited to share a new milestone in our journey towards enhancing digital identity solutions. Our partner, Authlete, has successfully issued IETF SD-JWT Verifiable Credentials to the Talao wallet, leveraging a profile of OpenID for Verifiable Credential Issuance (OID4VCI).
This achievement is part of the Global Assured Identity Network (GAIN) initiative, which aims to create a globally interoperable network for high-trust identity assurance.
What is the GAIN POC Initiative?
The Global Assured Identity Network (GAIN) initiative is an international collaboration focused on building a globally interoperable network for secure digital identity assurance. Launched with the goal of creating an "internet where people can trust one another," GAIN brings together leading organizations and experts to explore and demonstrate how disparate digital identity systems can work seamlessly together.
The initiative supports the development and integration of advanced standards like OpenID for Verifiable Credential Issuance (OID4VCI), ensuring that digital identities can be verified and trusted across different platforms and ecosystems.
Authlete's achievement with Talao Wallet
Authlete, a leader in OpenID protocols and a key contributor to the GAIN POC Community Group, has demonstrated how different digital identity implementations can achieve seamless interoperability.
By issuing IETF SD-JWT Verifiable Credentials to the Talao wallet using OpenID for Verifiable Credential Issuance (OID4VCI), we are paving the way for a secure and interoperable digital identity ecosystem. We are proud that the Talao wallet was chosen for this important demonstration, showcasing its robustness and advanced digital identity features capabilities.
Working with leading organizations like Authlete
We want to extend our gratitude to Authlete for their work and for choosing Talao as a trusted partner in this initiative. Their expertise in OpenID protocols has been key in achieving this milestone, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration.
The ability to issue and manage Verifiable Credentials (VCs) that are interoperable across various digital identity systems is a game-changer. It not only simplifies the process of identity verification but also enhances security by ensuring that credentials are issued and managed in a standardized and trusted manner. As digital identity continues to evolve, ensuring that different systems can work together seamlessly is crucial for building a secure and reliable digital ecosystem.
At Talao, we remain committed to supporting and enhancing our wallets to meet the highest standards in digital identity. We will continue to work with leading organizations like Authlete to bring the best solutions to our users.
