- OpenID for Verifiable Credential Issuance – Defines an API and corresponding OAuth-based authorization mechanisms for issuance of Verifiable Credentials (Editors’ Draft) (Working Group Draft)
- OpenID for Verifiable Presentations – Defines a mechanism on top of OAuth 2.0 to allow presentation of claims in the form of Verifiable Credentials as part of the protocol flow (Editors’ Draft) (Working Group Draft) (Implementer’s Draft)
- Self-Issued OpenID Provider v2 – Enables End-Users to use OpenID Providers (OPs) that they control (Editors’ Draft) (Working Group Draft) (Implementer’s Draft)
