The Foundation opened self-certification conformance tests for OpenID for Verifiable Presentations (OpenID4VP)and OpenID for Verifiable Credential Issuance (OpenID4VCI) to give implementers a clear way to validate that they’ve followed the specifications correctly. OpenID4VP and OpenID4VCI are used with the High Assurance Interoperability Profile (HAIP), and OpenID anticipated the launch of the conformance test suites near the end of last year, calling it “a defining moment for global digital identity systems worldwide.” While slightly delayed from the original release schedule, that moment has arrived.
