Verifiable Credentials Issuance
WORK IN PROGRESS
Introduction
Social Registry can issue credentials in the form of Verifiable Credentials (VC). These can be downloaded into the beneficiary's digital wallet or printed on paper as a QR code upon authentication. These credentials can signify that this person is part of this Registry. Sometimes also called e-cards. Some example use-cases; Farmer Regsitry e-Card, etc.
Features
Social Registry exposes OpenID for VCI APIs. A wallet can use these APIs to retrieve the VCs.
The content inside the VC can be configured without modifying the code.
Any functional/foundational ID can be configured for authentication. For example, if the Registry contains National IDs (or National ID tokens) of individuals, and a valid eSignet authentication mechanism (or similar) exists against the given National ID, then the credential can be issued.
Future possibilities: if a unique ID is issued by the social registry itself, then that can be used to authenticate and retrieve the credential.
