"DHS S&T Seeks Solutions for Privacy-Preserving Digital Credential Wallets & Verifiers"

The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) has issued a new solicitation for the development, improvement, and implementation of a new set of tools that protect the privacy of individuals when using digital credentials for various purposes. The solicitation, "Privacy-Preserving Digital Credential Wallets & Verifiers," is administered by S&T's Silicon Valley Innovation Program (SVIP). It seeks advanced solutions to support a privacy-preserving digital credentialing ecosystem for DHS components and offices. Melissa Oh, managing director of SVIP, emphasizes that in an increasingly interconnected world, protecting the privacy of individuals who store their credentials in digital wallets is crucial to ensuring the security and confidentiality of their digital interactions. The solicitation builds on the success and global adoption of the open, standards-based digital credentialing solutions developed in response to SVIP's previous "Preventing Forgery & Counterfeiting of Certificates and Licenses" topic call. This article continues to discuss the new solicitation announced by DHS S&T to create solutions for privacy-preserving digital credential wallets and verifiers.
