Credential Issuance

Enable your applications to issue Verifiable Credentials (VCs) to users for reusability and interoperability of data.

The Credential Issuance service enables you to issue Verifiable Credentials (VCs) to users and allows them to claim the VC in their digital wallet, like Affinidi Vault.

Benefits of Credential Issuance

Secured Issuance and Claim: The issuance and claim of Verifiable Credentials uses OpenID for Verifiable Credential Issuance (OID4VCI) standard, which is an OAuth 2.0-based mechanism to authorise access to the issued credentials benefiting from its well-established security, simplicity, and flexibility.

Issue VCs from Preferred Wallet: The Credential Issuance Service allows Issuers to select from the list of supported Wallets (DID Methods) to issue and sign the credential, enabling them to utilise the provided benefits of each wallet.

W3C-compliant Credential Issuance: The Credential Issuance Service issues credentials to users using the W3C Verifiable Credential standard and allows you to define the list of supported schemas for your issuance flow.
