Verifiable Credentials can be used in place of OpenID to allow a user to make verifiable attestations about themselves without the authority having to be present.

It would still have many of the same flaws as OpenID, but at least you accessing a site wouldnt notify the authority.

Ibwas actually trying to find the specific protocol uses for eIDs in Europe and couldn't find much beyond a high level "its secure and private".

Maybe " verifiable credentials" is the keyword I was missing. Thanks!
