Credential Issuance

Enable your app to issue Verifiable Credentials (VCs) for reusable and interoperable user data.

The Credential Issuance service lets users claim VCs in their digital wallets, such as Affinidi Vault.

Benefits of Credential Issuance

Secured Issuance and Claim: The Credential Issuance service uses the OID4VCI standard, built on OAuth 2.0, to authorise access to issued credentials. This ensures a secure, flexible, and well-established flow for credential delivery.

Issue VCs from Preferred Wallet: You can choose from the supported wallets (DID methods) to issue and sign credentials. This lets you take advantage of each wallet’s unique capabilities.

W3C-compliant Credential Issuance: Credentials are issued using the W3C Verifiable Credential standard. You can define supported schemas to match your issuance flow and data requirements.
