- The catalog groups 16 proof types by NIST SP 800-63A-4 step and by where each check runs.
Field notes
The architecture separates checks performed on the person's phone from registry lookups and checks left to the relying party. The page says registries receive only the fields each one needs, and lists standards including NIST SP 800-63A-4, ICAO Doc 9303, and OpenID4VP. The Foundation describes its components and router as being built, so the page does not establish their current operational status.
