Digital credentials round out the platform: The third fabric component is digital credentials capabilities through the Okta Verifiable Digital Credentials (VDC) platform, scheduled for fiscal 2027 release.The system would allow organizations to issue cryptographically secure versions of government IDs, employment records, and professional certifications.”Built on open standards for maximum control and future interoperability, VDCs will help establish trust in a world of AI agents, enabling secure, privacy-preserving credentials that help prove who someone is, what they’ve done, or what they’re allowed to do,” the company said.Okta said that it would begin with support for mobile driver’s licenses before expanding to additional identification types.The focus on identity security challenges extended beyond Okta’s announcements at the Las Vegas event. Data protection company Rubrik also launched Rubrik Okta Recovery, designed to provide automated backups and recovery for Okta environments, highlighting the broader industry recognition of identity infrastructure vulnerabilities, Rubrik announced in a separate statement. The fabric approach addressed what Okta described as challenges where “AI agents operate at machine speed with high privileges and ephemeral lifecycles, and AI-driven deepfakes blur the line between legitimate users and malicious impersonators.”
