Issuers can be held accountable through decentralized identity (DID) frameworks that integrate cryptographic proofs and public ledgers. Each credential is digitally signed, linking it to the issuer’s DID, which is registered on a blockchain. Regulators or auditors can verify the issuer’s identity and track credential issuance history. Legal penalties, such as fines or revocation of issuing privileges, can be enforced if fraud is detected. Smart contracts may also automate penalties for non-compliance, ensuring transparency and deterrence.
