Credential Format Comparison SIG
summary
A working special interest group catalogs 17 credential formats, builds a searchable metrics matrix and a configurator that enumerates properties, implementations and IPR, and reports 3 million combinations of options. It shows concrete differences (e.g. ISO MDOC uses ECDSA, X.509 issuer keys and COSE holder keys), surfaces that unlinkability via CL signatures conflicts with hardware-backed keys, and helped ID Union pick SD-JWT over anoncreds and JSON‑LD. The dataset needs ongoing contributors.
