en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Korea Digital Certification Association (KDCA) has promoted the adoption of three new work items related to digital identity and security at the recent International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) Study Group 17 meeting held in Geneva, Switzerland.

At the ITU-T SG17 meeting held from June 1 to 10, the association successfully proposed these three work items in collaboration with the standardization research team from Soonchunhyang University and the RaonSecure standardization team. The newly adopted work items specifically include: a technical report on an AI agent identity management mechanism using a Decentralized Identity (DID) system; an implementation guide aimed at establishing a cross-border age assurance system and ensuring interoperability; and a technical report (XSTR.id-AA-dis) addressing identity management issues when AI agents access services and conduct transactions on behalf of users.

Professor Yeom Heung-yeol of Soonchunhyang University (also serving as Chairman of the Korea Digital Certification Association), Soonchunhyang University team leader Park Seong-chae, and RaonSecure standardization expert Hyun Da-eun have been appointed as editors for the development of these three international standards. In the area of AI agent identity management, the proposed standard defines a set of mechanisms enabling AI agents to identify each other through Decentralized Identity (DID) and operate under authorized delegation based on Verifiable Credentials (VC). The proposal was jointly submitted by South Korea and the United States, with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) participating as a co-editor. The new work item on age assurance systems aims to securely verify users' online ages while achieving cross-border interoperability, and was jointly proposed by South Korea, South Africa, and Qatar.
