검증 가능한 자격 증명 (Verifiable Credentials)
안전한 디지털 신원 증명.
VCs are a core component of Decentralized Identity (DID). Built on the 'Trust Triangle' model (Issuer, Holder, Verifier), they enable a privacy-first way to share sensitive information. VCs contain cryptographic proofs allowing instant confirmation of authenticity without central databases.

🧒 5살도 이해할 수 있게 설명
스마트폰에 들어있는 디지털 '신분증'이나 '졸업장' 같은 거예요. 모든 정보를 다 보여줄 필요 없이, 예를 들어 '성인 인지'만 증명하는 디지털 토큰을 보내면 상대방은 내 이름이나 주소를 몰라도 그게 진짜라는 걸 바로 확인할 수 있죠.
🤓 Expert Deep Dive
The W3C VC Data Model defines Claims, Metadata, and Proofs. Modern VCs utilize Selective Disclosure (BBS+ or SD-JWT) for Predicate Proofs. Status/Revocation is managed via decentralized bitstrings/status lists.
