Authlete is proud to return to the OAuth Security Workshop 2025 (OSW 2025) as the Platinum sponsor. This year’s event will take place in Reykjavik, Iceland from February 26 to 28, 2025.
The OAuth Security Workshop (OSW) serves as the premier forum for in-depth technical discussions on OAuth, OpenID, and related standards. Marking its 10th anniversary this year, OSW has contributed to shaping and improving internet protocols by fostering direct and open collaboration between industry professionals, academic researchers, and members of standardization groups.
In his presentation titled “OpenID for Verifiable Credentials: Achieving interoperability, security and scalability,” Authlete CTO Joseph Heenan will share the latest updates on conformance tests for OpenID for Verifiable Credentials family of standards, as well as planned future work.
Authlete 3.0 supports OpenID for Verifiable Credential Issuance (OID4VCI). The detailed explanation of OID4VCI and its implementation is available here.
Thursday, February 27, 11:30–12:00 (UTC), Side room 1
Digital wallets and verifiable credentials are currently a hot topic in many jurisdictions around the world, with work ongoing in ISO, the EU, Japan, the US, and many more that leverages the OpenID Foundation (OIDF) for Verifiable Credentials standards. OIDF has a history of creating conformance tests and certification programs for OpenID standards that can be used to ensure that ecosystems made up of many potentially divergent implementations of the standard can scale up quickly.
OIDF is currently working on tests for the OpenID for Verifiable Presentations, OpenID for Verifiable Credential Issuance, and OpenID4VC High Assurance Interoperability Profile (HAIP) specifications to ensure that deployments of these protocols are both interoperable and correctly implement the security properties. Joseph will talk about the approach being taken, demonstrate the progress to date, share the future roadmap, and how implementors can run the current tests.
