About the Common Assessment Method for Standards and Specifications (CAMSS) 

CAMSS is the European guide for assessing and selecting standards and specifications for an eGovernment project, a reference when building an architecture and an enabler for justifying the choice of standards and specifications in terms of interoperability needs and requirements. It is fully aligned with the European Standardisation Regulation 1025/2012. 

CAMSS Assessment 

CAMSS Assessment is a solution which corresponds to the output of an assessment of a standard, technical specification or standard developing/setting organisation using the CAMSS Assessment EIF Scenario. Each assessment produced is considered a CAMSS Assessment once it is approved by the CAMSS Team. Any approved assessment is published by the CAMSS Team and publicly available in Joinup. 

Verifiable Credentials

Verifiable Credentials with the Common assessment method for standards and technical specifications (CAMSS). 

W3C Verifiable Credentials is a specification that provides a mechanism to express credentials (e.g., driver’s license or government-issued passports) on the Web in a way that is cryptographically secure, privacy respecting, and machine-verifiable. This means they can be stored on digital devices, and it is possible to use cryptography to verify their data and authorship.

The specification has been developed and maintained by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

The assessment has been performed with the CAMSS Assessment EIF Scenario v6.0.0.
