Invitation to comment on Lightweight Verifiable Schema Credential v1.0

Public Review - ends March 24th

OASIS and the LVCSP TC are pleased to announce that Lightweight Verifiable Schema Credential v1.0 CSD01 is now available for public review and comment. 

This document defines a lightweight schema for Verifiable Credentials to support digital (also known as electronic) “Know Your Customer” (eKYC) processes, based on the W3C Verifiable Credential (VC) standards. Through adoption of this standard, individuals are able to share their verified identity claims across different digital platforms and services. This standard is referred to as a “Lightweight Verifiable Credential Schema,” abbreviated as LVCS, because it provides a basic schema and format, without significant options or conditions.

The documents and all related files are available here:
