## Verifiable Credential Barcodes
This specification describes a data model and
[Data Integrity Cryptosuite](https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-integrity/)
for use when embedding Verifiable Credentials in legacy optical barcodes,
such as those found on driver's licenses (PDF417) and travel documents (MRZ),
using [Verifiable Credentials](https://www.w3.org/TR/vc-data-model-2.0/).
