This is important work in the context of EU Digital Identity:

- DVS is useful for proving possession of attestations.

- DVS does not accidentally bring non-repudiation properties. In
contrast, digital signature algorithms may do so, failing to meet
the holder’s confidentiality expectations. This is a reason for
ISO/IEC 18013-5:2021 to prefer ECDH-MAC (DVS) over ECDSA/EdDSA.

- DVS avoids patent issues with ECDSA in this context:

I hope the JOSE group will adopt this Internet-Draft.

I’m sharing feedback on the content in the associated GitHub issues.

Best regards,

Sander
