Where their work shows up

Decentralized identity spent a decade as an argument between specifications. Issuing a real mobile driving licence for a state DMV is where that argument meets procurement, accessibility requirements, and a public that did not ask for a wallet, and where ISO 18013-5, verifiable credentials, and OpenID4VC have to work together in production.
