During the past 6 months there have been developments in selected ongoing projects in ISO/TC 307 - ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 27 JWG4:

ISO/PRF TR 23249 Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies – Overview of existing DLT systems for identity management – Stage 50.20 Proof sent to Secretariat or FDIS ballot initiated: 2 months

ISO/DTR 23644 Blockchain and distributed ledger technologies - Overview of trust anchors for DLT-based identity management (TADIM) – Stage 30.60 Close of voting/comment period

ISO/AWI 7603 Decentralized Identity standard for the identification of subjects and objects. Scope: A standard for the design and use of decentralized and self-sovereign identification of subjects (legal entities and natural persons) and objects, assets within the design of Blockchain and DLT Systems, in conjunction with Verifiable Credentials (VCs). The standard will refer to available identification standards from ISO as well as other standardization bodies, such as W3C, GLEIF, IETF, ITU, IEEE, etc. and non-standardization global consortiums, such as DIF, TOIP, and the Kantara Initiative. Purpose is to support developers to deliver cost and time efficient development of high quality Blockchain and DLT systems for managing identity across a defined architectural stack. To create awareness of available standards of subjects (legal entities and natural persons) and objects and to give an overview of existing identifier standards. - Stage 20.00 New project registered in TC/SC work programme.

ISO/PWI 12833 Re-identification and privacy vulnerabilities and mitigation methods in blockchain and distributed ledger technologies – Stage 00.00 Proposal for new project received
