Where FIDO Meets SSI
summary
Maps FIDO/passkey authentication to DID and verifiable credential flows, showing concrete deployments: IATA travel pass runs in production and DHS SVAP POC exists for permanent resident cards. Describes where authentication actually happens — issuance to wallet, wallet-to-verifier sharing, and relying-party session link — and recommends using WebAuthn/FIDO authenticators for wallet, issuer and cloud logins. Highlights promising specs like the VC API and Self‑Issued OpenID paths and argues DID verification can interoperate without anchoring to a single blockchain.
