This marks the first successful large-scale interoperability test combining multiple international digital ID standards (OpenID4VCI, ISO/IEC, W3C, ETSI) into a unified system. The unprecedented collaboration between seven distinct issuers demonstrates technical feasibility for a standardized global digital identity infrastructure - a crucial prerequisite for implementing worldwide digital ID systems.
Global Digital ID Standard: 7 Wallets Unite Under OpenID Protocol
📰 What Happened
The OpenID Foundation has completed a groundbreaking interoperability test of its OpenID4VCI specification, successfully connecting seven credential issuers and digital wallets from five providers. The test included participants like OpenWallet Foundation, Meeco, Lissi, and Bundesdruckerei, integrating multiple standards including ISO/IEC IS 18013-5:2021 and IETF's SD-JWT draft 17. The initiative supports major government projects including EU Digital Identity Wallets and Japan's Digital Agency pilot.
📖 Prophetic Significance
The convergence of five major digital wallet providers with government entities (EU, Japan, Germany) signals the emergence of the prophesied global control system. The test's integration of ISO/IEC standards with national digital ID projects (like Germany's PointID terminals) demonstrates how regional systems are being unified under common protocols. This aligns with Daniel's vision of a worldwide system of control, particularly as it combines government authority (Bundesdruckerei) with private technology providers (Mattr, Meeco) in an unprecedented public-private partnership for identity management.
