Currently, it is technically possible to apply various legacy credentials to new web standards such as W3C VC, IETF SD-JWT, and ISO mdoc. However, there are no established rules for using these standards in an interoperable or universal manner, not only for National IDs but also for private sector IDs such as Student IDs and Corporate IDs.

We are collaborating with the National Institute of Informatics (NII) to establish standards for Student IDs in Japan based on the ISO/IEC 18013 standard. They are set to create rules regarding how to issue credentials, how to construct the data model, and how to assure and validate the data. We attended a use case demonstration event held by Osaka University this October, where several use cases were accepted by participants from various universities in Japan.

Our goal is to make Student ID interoperable and easy to use, not just in Japan but globally. Therefore, we would like to discuss the following points:

  • What are the most common use cases for Student IDs in your country?
  • What capabilities would be enabled if Global Student ID Interoperability is achieved?
  • What is needed to achieve this, including the prospects for Digital Credentials API?
