The W3C Digital Verification Community Group

The DVCG has been closed. All items have been moved to the W3C-CCG. See this issue for additional details.

The mission of the W3C Digital Verification Community Group is to study, design, implement, and deploy systems that increase trust on the Web. These systems include, but are not limited to signature systems, data normalization algorithms, and computational proof systems.

The W3C Digital Verification Community Group is a task force within the W3C Credentials Community Group.

Specification

The group is currently incubating, implementing, and deploying the following specifications:

Linked Data Signatures - Describes a mechanism for ensuring the authenticity and integrity of linked data documents using digital signatures.
Signing HTTP Messages - Describes a mechanism for ensuring the authenticity and integrity of HTTP Messages using digital signatures. A security audit of the protocol is available.

2016 Koblitz Elliptic Curve Suite - Signature Suite for the Koblitz Elliptic Curve 2016.
2016 Redaction Signature Suite - Signature Suite created in 2016 for performing Redacted signatures.
2016 Pseudonymous Signature Suite - Signature Suite for Pseudonymous 2016 signatures.
2017 Merkle Proof Signature Suite - Signature Suite for Merkle Proof 2017 signatures.
