Dear all,

I read with alarm that the EU Digital Wallet is mandating SD-JWT,
perhaps under the illusion that it meets the standard, 22 year old
security definition for schemes of this type. It of course doesn't, as
said quite clearly in the security considerations section 10.4 and
10.5. Why on earth are we pursing this "solution" when actual
solutions to the problems presented have existed for 19 years? There's
been substantial research on this area, as seen in Microsoft's U-Prove
system just to name one instance.

This is apparently an article of discussion on the EU Digital Wallet
project as well, but I think the IETF needs to have its own discussion
of the issues here and not just say "well, it would be nice if we had
an RFC for this" especially given the negative privacy impacts.

Sincerely,
Watson Ladd

PS: they appear quite aware, but apparently convening the right
committee to approve the signature scheme is too hard. Anyway, not
relevant to us in the IETF.
