ShadowPath: Lookup-Private Credential Status Verification over Authenticated State
ShadowPath proposes lookup-private revocation checks for verifiable credentials, preventing verifiers from learning which specific credential is being validated — a privacy advance for digital identity architectures.
Summary written by editorial AI · Source link below
arXiv:2608.19937v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Verifiable credentials let holders present digitally signed claims without requiring the issuer to participate in every presentation. Revocation complicates this privacy model because a verifier must determine whether a credential remains valid. Existing status checks may expose recurring identifiers, registry positions, or request metadata. Such information can serve as stable handles to link separate presentations. ShadowPath moves the credentia
Editorial Analysis
As eIDAS 2.0 drives EU-wide verifiable credential adoption, revocation-check privacy becomes a concrete compliance and trust-architecture concern for wallet providers and relying parties.
