They are an excellent solution for Web SSO. However, they require the IDP to be always on, an online connection to the RP, and share a lot of metadata with the IDP.
X.509 certificate never had those problems, but are inflexible and require revocation. Verifiable Credentials to me are more like X.509 certs but with more flexibility, simpler to use data formats, and the option to selectively disclose claims. So the question merely is what parameters to optimize for. The current thinking I perceive is to give users long lived credentials, which means the issuer doesn’t need to be always on, there is no need for online connection, and the issuer does not get any metadata on when, what kind of claims is being used. This also makes offline use of such credentials an obvious option. However, the lifecycle of such credentials needs to be managed. I think revocation lists are an ok solution to that problem. I don’t see how the issuer could learn where a credential is being used with revocation lists as the verifier will just download the whole list for evaluation and revocation lists typically do not authenticate the verifier. Which leaves the IP address of the verifier as metadata without any further context. I think the issuer part of it is more complex than people currently believe since issuers need to maintain a list of the credentials they issued (not needed in OIDC). Updates to credential data need to be published and last but not least, there needs to be away to let credentials be revoked. E.g. an user or a wallet provider might need to ask an issuer to revoke a certain credential because of abuse. That’s gone be though. That might be the reason why ISO mDL uses expiration (I guess weeks to month) instead of revocation.
