#DigitalTrust is a buzzword we hear a lot these days, but what does it really mean? How do we develop the tools that bring us closer to achieving it? I had the privilege of joining an incredible panel to dive into how #TrustRegistries can play a pivotal role.
I was proud to join a team of leaders speaking at ICANN79 yesterday. We can rebuild trust in the internet. We can re-establish the needed authenticity and provenance for things with trust registries. icann.zoom.us/rec/play/WT_3H…

Question for some of my openid4vp friends. @tlodderstedt @kristinayasuda @niels_klomp How is the End-User authenticated? Is it via device biometric or by the oAuth2 server? And based on the authn success, does the wallet itself generate the vp_token?
