The Hypersign Verifiable Credential comply W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model v1.1 specification whoes status can be stored in Hypersign Credential Revocation Registry on Hypersign Identity Blockchain Network.
As per W3C Credentials Data Model specfiation v1.1:
What is credential?*
Credentials are a part of our daily lives; driver's licenses are used to assert that we are capable of operating a motor vehicle, university degrees can be used to assert our level of education, and government-issued passports enable us to travel between countries
What is verifiable credential
A digital credential document which is represented in a way that is cryptographically secure, privacy respecting, and machine-verifiable.
Read more about verifiable credential here.
Is a javascript library for verifiable credentials operation (generate, issue etc). It also provides APIs to store/update/retrive credential status to/from the Hypersign Credential Revocation Registry on the Hypersign Blockchain network easily.
- Let us assume that we have created a DID - acting as an issuer and subject both (for demonstration purpose) - and have also registered a schema on the Hypersign blockchain. See documentation for HypersignDID and HypersignSchema before proceeding.
- Sample Schema has only one property called
name
. - Sample issuer/subject DID
- Sample Schema has only one property called
- The subject DID may or may not be a private DID. Read concept of private and public DIDs here.
npm i https://github.com/hypersign-protocol/hid-ssi-js-sdk --save
import { HypersignVerifiableCredential } from 'hs-ssi-sdk';
Create Instance of the class
const hypersignVC = new HypersignVerifiableCredential({
offlineSigner, // OPTIONAL signer of type OfflineSigner
nodeRestEndpoint: 'https://api.jagrat.hypersign.id', // OPTIONAL RPC endpoint of the Hypersign blockchain, Default 'TEST'
nodeRpcEndpoint: 'https://rpc.jagrat.hypersign.id', // OPTIONAL REST endpoint of the Hypersign blockchain
namespace: 'testnet', // OPTIONAL namespace of did, Default ''
});
// OR Just initalize with offlineSigner
const hypersignVC = new HypersignVerifiableCredential({
offlineSigner,
});
// OR Depending on offchain-onchain activities
const hypersignVC = new HypersignVerifiableCredential();
You may follow this this code snnipet for creating OfflineSigner
offlineSigner = await createWallet(mnemonic);
Call init()
to initalize the offlineSigner
await hypersignVC.init();
Generates a new credential document of type IVerifiableCredential.

Note: When we issue credential, only cryptographic hash of the credential document get stored on the blockchain for privacy purpose and security purpose. The credentialHash
in credentialStatus
is a digest of the verifiable credential, generated using sha256
hashing algorithm which is of length 256 bits
and is represented into 64 HEX
characters.
