Token-based identity relies on cryptographic tokens (e.g., JWTs, OAuth access tokens) for authentication, often tied to centralized services. These tokens grant temporary access but lack portability and user control. Credential-based identity uses verifiable credentials (VCs) issued by trusted entities, enabling users to own and share attributes (e.g., age, qualifications) across platforms. VCs leverage decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and zero-knowledge proofs for privacy, offering greater autonomy and interoperability compared to ephemeral token systems.
