@klayr-did/klayr-verifiable-credentials

A library for working with Verifiable Credentials (VC) and verifiable presentations (VP) using Klayr DID method

About Klayr

Klayr is an open-source blockchain application platform written in Javascript, designed to bridge the gap between accessibility and web3 adoption. Learn more about Klayr from their official website, as well as it's public GitHub Repository.

About did:klayr Method

did:klayr is a DID method specifically designed for Klayr sidechain, which outlines syntax, data model, and operations that adheres to W3C Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) Specification.

A did:klayr DID consist of a method, chainspace, namespace, and unique-id that suitable for specific, tailored, self-sovereign identity use case. An example of a did:klayr identifier, is as follows:

did:klayr:enevti:address:kly9gxy8ua2n5sj7eqvtp554hvce8m39sy39sjwzu

Please refer to the did:klayr method spec draft for further explanation. As its still in under active development, community contribution will be much appreciated.

Getting Started

Sidechain Setup

Since this tool is tailored for Klayr-based sidechains, you need to start by setting up a blockchain client. You can find guidance on configuring your blockchain environment in the official Klayr Documentation, as well as in Klayr Discord #dev-discussion channel

Installation

npm install --save @klayr-did/klayr-verifiable-credentials

Usage

You can use this library to issue and verify a Verifiable Credentials (VC) using Klayr cryptography and Klayr DID, which use Ed25519 keys:

import vc from '@klayr-did/klayr-verifiable-credentials';

async function vcExample() {
    // you can also use did.getAddressDIDFromPublicKey from @klayr-did/klayr-decentralized-identifier
    const issuer = 'did:klayr:enevti:address:kly9gxy8ua2n5sj7eqvtp554hvce8m39sy39sjwzu';

    // the credentials needs to adheres to W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model
    const credential = {
		'@context': [
			'https://www.w3.org/2018/credentials/v1',
			'https://www.w3.org/2018/credentials/examples/v1',
		],
		type: ['VerifiableCredential', 'UniversityDegreeCredential'],
		issuer: issuer,
		credentialSubject: {
			id: 'urn:uuid:f81d4fae-7dec-11d0-a765-00a0c91e6bf6', // => needs to be in URI format
			alumniOf: 'Harvard University'
		},
	};

    const privateKey = <your-private-key>;
    const signedVC = await vc.issueCredential(credential, privateKey, {ipc: '~/.klayr/enevti-core'});

    // later you can verify a signedVC as follows
    const verifyVC = await vc.verifyCredential(signedVC, publicKey, {ipc: '~/.klayr/enevti-core'});
    if (verifyVC.verified === true) {
        // vc is verified
        // do something
    }
}
