Description

The current specification is based on the W3C VC DM v1.

The W3C VC DM v2 is about to be published as a Candidate Recommendation. It contains a number of differences to the v1 DM. Importantly all VC DM v2 VCs must have an @context property. More importantly, securing them using SD-JWT is indicated in a different way to securing a non-W3C VC with SD-JWT. Specifically the typ is set to vc+ld+json+sd-jwt (in the latest draft version of the specification), rather than vc+sd-jwt which is used by the SD-JWT VC draft.

Therefore a number of changes will be needed to the OpenID4VCI specification if it is to cater for the W3C VC DM v2.

This issue is a placeholder to indicate that some changes will be needed in order to accommodate the W3C VC DM v2.
