walt.id Identity

This is a repackaged open source software product wherein additional charges apply for cloudimg support services.

Overview

walt.id Identity is an open source platform for decentralized identity and verifiable credentials. It gives you the building blocks to issue, hold and verify W3C Verifiable Credentials using open standards including OpenID for Verifiable Credential Issuance (OID4VCI), OpenID for Verifiable Presentations (OID4VP) and Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs). This image delivers the stack fully installed and wired together, so a complete issue, hold and verify flow is running within minutes of launch.

Application Stack

The platform runs as a set of pinned upstream containers managed by systemd: the Issuer API on port 7002 issues Verifiable Credentials to wallets over OID4VCI, the Verifier API on port 7003 requests and verifies Verifiable Presentations over OID4VP with configurable credential and presentation policies, and the Wallet API is a server side holder wallet that can receive, store and present credentials, backed by a local SQLite database. A web wallet user interface is served on port 80 through an nginx reverse proxy, so you can register, hold and present credentials from a browser. Docker Engine is installed from the official Docker package repository and every walt.id image is captured into the AMI, so instances start offline without pulling anything.

Dedicated Storage Tier

The Wallet API state, holding the wallet accounts, keys and stored credentials, lives on a separate, independently resizable data volume, so your holder data survives instance replacement and the wallet data tier can be grown without disturbing the rest of the instance.

Open Standards Identity

Every capability is exposed through clean HTTP APIs built on open standards: OID4VCI issuance, OID4VP verification, W3C Verifiable Credentials, Decentralized Identifiers and selective disclosure. Build issuers, verifiers, holder wallets and integrations against one consistent, standards based stack, and connect it to your own applications, wallets and trust frameworks.

Secure First Boot

On the first boot of your instance a one shot service generates unique wallet signing and encryption keys and a unique wallet administrator account, written to a file only the root user can read. No administrator, no shared secret and no default credential ships in the image; the Issuer and Verifier learn the instance public address on every boot so credential offers and presentation requests point at the right host without hand editing. The Wallet API is bound to loopback and reached through the web wallet on port 80.

Ready To Use

Browse to the instance on port 80 to open the web wallet and sign in with the generated administrator credentials, or register a new holder account. The Issuer API on port 7002 and the Verifier API on port 7003 are ready for your applications and integrations, and a built in end to end self test issues, holds and verifies a sample credential to prove the whole flow.
