Taiwan's Ministry of Digital Development Participates in Distributed ID Standardization
This month, the Ministry of Digital Affairs (Ministry of Digital Development) became an official member of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), an international organization that promotes the standardization of World Wide Web technologies, under the name of Ministry of Digital Affairs, Taiwan, a government agency. The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has been appointed as an official member of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The Ministry of Digital Affairs will actively participate in the standardization of web technology on behalf of Taiwan. Founded in 1994, W3C is the principal international standards organization for web technologies worldwide. Its purpose is to establish common standards for the Web and standardize Web technologies worldwide by promoting the development of compatible technologies.
Earlier this year, we worked with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to develop verifiable credentials (verifiable credentials, VC) and distributed IDs (decentralized identifiers, DID). Through such a framework, we can play an important role in verifying the authenticity of natural persons, legal entities, and new organizational structures such as DAOs. ---
