Definition: SD-JWT (Selective Disclosure for JWTs), defined in the IETF OAuth Working Group specification, is a JSON-based credential and token format that enables a Holder to selectively disclose a subset of the claims contained in a JSON Web Signature (JWS)-protected payload, while preserving cryptographic verifiability of the disclosed claims.

Synonym: Selective Disclosure JWT
Example: A citizen's Digital Identity Wallet issues an SD-JWT-encoded health-insurance credential, later disclosing only the eligibility-status claim to a verifier while withholding all other claims.
Interoperability Saliency: Salient for technical interoperability because it is the primary data format realising the Selective Disclosure Presentation Service ABB, standardising data-minimising credential presentation across the EUDI Wallet ecosystem.
