Verifiable Credentials

Verifiable claims are statements made by an entity about a 'subject' whose authorship can be cryptographically verified. They can be combined with DID documents to provide trusted service. IoTeX verifiable credentials include the following features:
  • Claims are used to create verifiable credentials by issuers.
  • Verifiable credentials are decentralized and contextual.
  • Credential issuers decide on which claims are contained in the credentials.
  • Verifiers make their own trust decisions about which credentials to accept.
  • Verifiers do not need to contact issuers to perform verification.
  • Credential holders are free to choose which credentials to carry and what information to disclose.
Here is a draft IoTeX verifiable credentials example:
