Verifiable Credentials

This section introduces how Verifiable Credentials (VCs) are used in the iSHARE documentation set and where to find the normative requirements and implementation details. VCs are used to issue, present, and verify signed claims (e.g., membership, roles, mandates) in a portable way, so different parties can validate the same evidence consistently.

In order to implement VC flows, start with the normative specifications, schemas, and then follow the endpoint requirements for your role.

Next steps:

• VC Specifications (W3C VC / DCP / OpenID4VCI/VP)

• Credential schemas

• H2M Verifiable Credential endpoints including OpenID4VCI endpoints and OpenID4VP endpoints, and/or M2M Verifiable Credential endpoints including DCP endpoints (as applicable per role)
