First Public Working Draft: Recognized Entities v1.0

The Verifiable Credentials Working Group has published today a First Public Working Draft of Recognized Entities v1.0. This specification describes a data model with which one or more recognized entities, such as one or more persons and/or organizations, can be described as known to perform specific actions, such as issuing or verifying a verifiable credential. The data model enables the publication or direct sharing of such information, providing a cryptographically-verifiable and privacy-preserving mechanism through which a holder can demonstrate that an entity whose credential they are using is recognized within a particular ecosystem.

The Working Group welcomes comments via the GitHub repository issues, the reference of which is also in the header of the document.
