# Verifying Verifiable Credentials (W3C) via OID4VC

This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough for verifying a Verifiable Credential based on the W3C standard using
the walt.id Enterprise verifier API. The verification process will utilize the OID4VP protocol, an extension of OpenID,
facilitating secure and standardized communication between identities.

**Verifiable Credential (VC)**: A digital equivalent of physical credentials such as a driver's license or university
degree. VCs are cryptographically secure, privacy-respecting, and instantly verifiable.

**OID4VP**: A protocol specifying how parties can present VCs in a way that's consistent
and secure across platforms ensuring interoperability.

## Enterprise Service Dependencies
To verify credentials, you need to have the following enterprise services setup:

1. [Verifier Service](https://docs.walt.id/enterprise-stack/services/verifier-service/overview.md) - Have a running verifier service. Setup instructions can be found [here](https://docs.walt.id/enterprise-stack/services/verifier-service/setup.md).

## Preparing the Verification

First, determine the type of Verifiable Credential to be verified. Although this guide focuses on a "VerifiableDiploma,"
you can use any credential type compliant with the W3C standard.

The verification process will be as follows:

1. Specify the credential type(s) to request from a user and the verification policies to be applied to the credential(
   s).
2. Optionally provide a success and failure redirect URL, which the user will be redirected to after the verification
   process is completed.

After you have provided the required information:

1. The API generates
   a [Presentation Definition](https://identity.foundation/presentation-exchange/#presentation-definition).
2. API returns a URL which can passed to OIDC-compliant wallet to fulfill the request.

If you have provided a success or failure redirect URL, the user will be redirected to that URL. You can then access the
verification results by using the id of the verification session, which can be found in the URL generated by the API, as
well as in the query or path parameters of the redirect URL.

### Example Verification Request 1 - Basic

For this example, we will only do a simple verification, where we request one credential type, a Verifiable Diploma, and
let the system apply the default signature policy to verify the validity of the signature of the presented credential.
Optionally we can provide a success and failure redirect URL, which the user will be redirected to after the
verification.

**Option: CURL**

```bash
curl -X 'POST' \
  'https://{orgID}.enterprise-sandbox.waltid.dev/v1/{target}/verifier-service-api/credentials/verify' \
  -H 'accept: */*' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer {yourToken}' \
  -H 'authorizeBaseUrl: openid4vp://authorize' \
  -H 'responseMode: direct_post' \
  -H 'successRedirectUri: https://example.com/success/{id}' \
  -H 'errorRedirectUri: https://example.com/error/{id}' \
  -H 'statusCallbackUri: https://example.com/status_callback/{id}' \
  -H 'statusCallbackApiKey: myAPIKey' \
  -H 'stateId: myUniqueStateValue' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{
  "request_credentials": [
    { "type": "VerifiableDiploma", "format": "jwt_vc_json" }
  ]
}'
```

**Path Parameters**

- `orgID`: - When performing operations within an organization, it is essential to use the organization's Base URL or
  another valid host alias. For example, if your organization is named `test`, your default Base URL will
  be `test.enterprise-sandbox.walt.dev` when using the sandbox environment.
- `target`: _resourceIdentifier_ - The target indicates the organization + tenant + verifier service with which to execute
  the credential verification (`{organizationID}.{tenantID}.{verifierServiceID}`), e.g. `waltid.tenant1.verifier1`

**Header Parameters**

- **authorizeBaseUrl** - is used to modify the start of the OID4VC request URL. If you are using the
  cross-device
  flow, where you will display the URL as a QR code, you can leave the value as `openid4vp://authorize` or if you don't
  know the wallet the user will be using to claim the credential. If you are using the same device flow, where you
  already
  know the user's wallet and want the user to be able to go directly to it, you can use the wallet URL path that is able
  to
  receive an OIDC request as a query parameter. Our wallet for example can receive OID4VC requests here
  `https://wallet.demo.walt.id/wallet-api/wallet/{wallet}/exchange/useOfferRequest`.

- **responseMode** - should be `direct_post` as the other options are not yet supported.
- **successRedirectUri** (optional) - is used to redirect the user if verification is successful. You can use the `$id`
  placeholder
  to get access to the id of verification session in your application in order to retrieve the verification results.
  E.g. `/success?id=$id` will be replaced with `/success?id=1234567890`
- **errorRedirectUri** (optional) - is used to redirect the user if verification is unsuccessful. You can use the `$id`
  placeholder
  to get access to the id of verification session in your application in order to retrieve the verification results.
  E.g. `/error?id=$id` will be replaced with `/error?id=1234567890`
- **statusCallbackUri** (optional) - URL that should be called when the presentation request has been fulfilled by a
  wallet. The request
  sent will be a `POST` including the whole presentation
  result. [See Verification Status Policies Response](#verification-status-policies-response)
- **statusCallbackApiKey** (optional) - If the endpoint you provide via `statusCallbackUri` is protected, you can use
  the `statusCallbackApiKey` to authenticate.
  The provided key will be appended as Authorization Header to the request.
- **stateId** (optional) - overwrite the unique `state` value which gets created for each verification request with your
  own.
- **openId4VPProfile** (optional) - Define profile for VP (Verifiable Presentation) request. The default is W3C
  OpenID4VP, which can optionally provided as `DEFAULT`.
  Apart from that, you can choose from the following options:
  - `EBSIV3`: For EBSI V3 compliant VP. Learn more [here](https://docs.walt.id/community-stack/verifier/ecosystems/ebsi/overview.md).
  - `ISO_18013_7_MDOC`: For mdoc Openid4VP.

**Body Parameters**

- **request_credentials** - An array of objects detailing the credentials to be requested from the user. Each object
  varies based on the type of credential being requested.

    found [here](https://docs.walt.id/enterprise-stack/services/verifier-service/policies/overview.md).
  - **id**: Used to set a specific id for the
    generated [Presentation Definition](https://identity.foundation/presentation-exchange/spec/v1.0.0/#presentation-definition).
    If not set,
    the verifier API auto-assigns a generated one.

  **Full Examples**
    ```json
     {
      "type": "ProofOfResidence",
      "format": "jwt_vc_json",
      "policies": [

### Example Verification Request 2 - Defining VC/VP Policies

In this example, we're not only specifying the types of credentials to verify, but also defining specific policies that
should be executed upon their verification. These include Verifiable Credential (VC) policies applied to credentials,
or Verifiable Presentation (VP) policies applied to the VP. The default policy applied for both VP and VC(s) is the
signature policy. A list of available policies can be found [here](https://docs.walt.id/enterprise-stack/services/verifier-service/policies/overview.md).

It's important to note that VC policies, once defined, are applied globally - that is, they are enacted on all requested
credentials within the scope of the verification. In a subsequent section, we'll delve into how to customize and
apply specific policies to individual credentials.

We will now specify these in the verification request alongside the `request_credentials` parameter (previously
explained)
using `vc_policies` and `vp_policies`. These represent lists of policies - either one, or both, can be provided.
The structure for both is identical.

VC and VP policies are formatted as lists: the policy can be represented as a string if no arguments are required,
or as an object if arguments are needed.

**Example Polices**

```json
[
  "signature",
  // policy without argument
  "expired",
  // policy without argument
  "not-before",
  // policy without argument
  {
    "policy": "webhook",
    "args": "https://example.org/abc/xyz"
  }
  // policy with argument
]
```

  **Optional Parameters**
  <br />
  Next to describing the type and format of the credential, the objects also take an optional `policies` and `id`
  attribute

  - **policies**: An array of policies to apply to the specified credential. A list of all policies can be
    found [here](https://docs.walt.id/enterprise-stack/services/verifier-service/policies/overview.md).
  - **id**: Used to set a specific id for the

    ```json
     {
      "type": "ProofOfResidence",
      "format": "jwt_vc_json",
      "policies": [
        "schema",
        {
          "policy": "webhook",
          "args": "https://example.org/abc/xyz"
        }
      ],
      "id": "test123"
     } 

    ```

</details>

Upon execution, the system generates a URL, which can be shared directly with users or displayed as a QR code.

### Example Verification Request 3: Applying Policies to Specific Credentials

In this example, which builds up on the previous ones, we'll demonstrate how to apply specific policies to a distinct
credential in the verification process. This is achieved by specifying next to the required credential type and format,
the policies that should be applied as an array in the credential specification object which goes into the
`requested_credentials` array. A list of supported policies can be
found [here](https://docs.walt.id/enterprise-stack/services/verifier-service/policies/overview.md).

Here's how it looks in practice:

```json
{
  "vp_policies": [
    "signature",
    "expired"
  ],
  "vc_policies": [
    "signature",
    "expired"
  ],
  "request_credentials": [
    {
      "type": "VerifiableId",
      "format": "jwt_vc_json"
    },
    {
      "type": "ProofOfResidence",
      "format": "jwt_vc_json"
    },
    {
      "type": "OpenBadgeCredential",
      "format": "jwt_vc_json"
      "policies": [
        "signature",
        {
          "policy": "webhook",
          "args": "https://example.org/abc/xyz"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}
```

In this code snippet, we extended the regular credential specification object that goes into `request_credentials`
to include policies that should be applied only to the "OpenBadgeCredential". The first policy "signature" doesn't
require any arguments and can therefore be provided as a string. The "webhook" policy does require an argument and is
therefore provided as an object. A list of different types of policies and their required arguments can be
found [here](https://docs.walt.id/enterprise-stack/services/verifier-service/policies/overview.md).

Meanwhile, the other requested credentials, "VerifiableId" and "ProofOfResidence", don't specify and custom policies,
meaning they will be verified against the globally defined "vp_policies" and "vc_policies".

  Next to describing the type and format of the credential, the objects also take an optional `policies` and `id`
  attribute

  - **policies**: An array of policies to apply to the specified credential. A list of all policies can be
    found [here](https://docs.walt.id/enterprise-stack/services/verifier-service/policies/overview.md).
  - **id**: Used to set a specific id for the
    generated [Presentation Definition](https://identity.foundation/presentation-exchange/spec/v1.0.0/#presentation-definition).
    If not set,
    the verifier API auto-assigns a generated one.

  **Full Examples**
    ```json
     {
      "type": "ProofOfResidence",
      "format": "jwt_vc_json",
      "policies": [
        "schema",
        {
          "policy": "webhook",
          "args": "https://example.org/abc/xyz"
        }
      ],
      "id": "test123"
     } 

    ```

Upon execution, the system generates a URL, which can be shared directly with users or displayed as a QR code.

### Example Verification Request 4: Implementing a Custom Presentation Definition

In this example, we'll explore how you can provide your own `input_descriptor` that will be merged with the autogenerated
presentation definition.
You can specify your custom `input_descriptor` for the [presentation definition](https://identity.foundation/presentation-exchange/#presentation-definition)
via an object in the `request_credentials` array, see example blow.

**Note:**

Important: Please also provide an id in the `input_descriptor` object.

<br />

**Example**

```json
{
  "vp_policies": [
    ...
  ],
  "vc_policies": [
    ...
  ],
  "request_credentials": [
    {
      "type": "VerifiableId",
      "format": "jwt_vc_json"
    },
    {
      "format": "jwt_vc_json",
      "type": "OpenBadgeCredential",
      "input_descriptor": {
        "id": "234",
        "constraints": {
          "fields": [
            {
              "path": [
                "$.name"
              ],
              "filter": {
                "type": "string",
                "pattern": ".*"
              }
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}

```

On execution the verifier API will auto-generate the input descriptor for the `VerifiableId` credential that we specified via
the regular object and merge it with our custom input descriptor of the `identity_credential` to form the final presentation definition.

**Note:**

When using the `input_descriptor` make sure to also provide the `presentation-definition` policy in the
`vp_policies` array to ensure the constraints specified are checked during verification.

### Example Verification Request 5: Using Relational Constraints

The `presentation-definition` policy also supports the
[relational constraint feature](https://identity.foundation/presentation-exchange/#relational-constraint-feature).
It allows you to express relations between issuer, holder and multiple credentials
directly within the `input_descriptor`.

#### subject_is_issuer

Use this constraint when you want to ensure that the credential was self issued by the presenter. The verification will only succeed if the issuer DID matches the credential subject.

```json
{
  "vp_policies": ["presentation-definition"],
  "request_credentials": [
    {
      "input_descriptor": {
        "id": "OpenBadgeCredential",
        "format": { "jwt_vc_json": { "alg": ["EdDSA"] } },
        "constraints": {
          "subject_is_issuer": "required",
          "fields": [
            {
              "path": ["$.vc.type"],
              "filter": { "type": "string", "pattern": "OpenBadgeCredential" }
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

#### is_holder

`is_holder` verifies that the credential was issued to the entity presenting it.
The fields you select must therefore originate from credentials bound to the
holder's DID.

```json
{
  "vp_policies": ["presentation-definition"],
  "request_credentials": [
    {
      "input_descriptor": {
        "id": "OpenBadgeCredential",
        "format": { "jwt_vc_json": { "alg": ["EdDSA"] } },
        "constraints": {
          "is_holder": [
            { "field_id": ["achname"], "directive": "required" }
          ],
          "fields": [
            {
              "path": ["$.vc.type"],
              "filter": { "type": "string", "pattern": "OpenBadgeCredential" }
            },
            {
              "id": "achname",
              "path": ["$.vc.credentialSubject.achievement.name"]
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

#### same_subject

This constraint makes sure multiple credentials talk about the same subject.
It compares the given fields across descriptors and requires all of them to
reference an identical subject DID.

```json
{
  "vp_policies": ["presentation-definition"],
  "request_credentials": [
    {
      "input_descriptor": {
        "id": "OpenBadgeCredential",
        "format": { "jwt_vc_json": { "alg": ["EdDSA"] } },
        "constraints": {
          "same_subject": [
            { "field_id": ["obc_achievement", "udc_degree"], "directive": "required" }
          ],
          "fields": [
            {
              "path": ["$.vc.type"],
              "filter": { "type": "string", "pattern": "OpenBadgeCredential" }
            },
            {
              "id": "obc_achievement",
              "path": ["$.vc.credentialSubject.achievement.name"]
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    },
    {
      "input_descriptor": {
        "id": "UniversityDegreeCredential",
        "format": { "jwt_vc_json": { "alg": ["EdDSA"] } },
        "constraints": {
          "fields": [
            {
              "path": ["$.vc.type"],
              "filter": { "type": "string", "pattern": "UniversityDegreeCredential" }
            },
            {
              "id": "udc_degree",
              "path": ["$.vc.credentialSubject.degree.name"]
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

## Presenting the Credential via walt.id Wallet

Using the URL returned by the verification request, we can fulfill the request using the
[hosted wallet](https://wallet.demo.walt.id) by walt.id. Either show the URL as QR code and scan it with a camera or provide
the URL as is in the
text field below the camera once you click on "Scan to receive or present credentials" in the web wallet credentials
overview page in the top right corner.

## Retrieving the Verification Status

After the user presents the credential(s), you can verify the status by performing the following call with the
`state` value obtained from the URL query params you shared with the user previously.

**Example**

```
openid4vp://authorize?...state=waltid.tenant1.verifier1.fb94470b-bcee-4ed7-93f5-906a4f5f585d...
```

Making the call to receive the verification result

```bash
curl -X 'GET' \
  'https://{orgID}.enterprise-sandbox.waltid.dev/v1/{target}/verifier-service-api/credentials/sessions/view' \
  -H 'accept: */*'
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer {yourToken}'
```

**Path Parameters**

- `orgID`: - When performing operations within an organization, it is essential to use the organization's Base URL or
  another valid host alias. For example, if your organization is named `test`, your default Base URL will
  be `test.enterprise-sandbox.walt.dev` when using the sandbox environment.
- `target`: _resourceIdentifier_ - The target indicates the organization + tenant + verifier service + sessionID to request
  (`{organizationID}.{tenantID}.{verifierServiceID}.{sessionID}`),
  e.g. `waltid.tenant1.verifier1.fb94470b-bcee-4ed7-93f5-906a4f5f585d`

## Verification Status Policies Response

The response of the verification status call will contain the status of the verification policies applied to the
credential(s) presented by the user. The policy results will be in the following format:

```json
{
  "verificationResult": true,
  "policyResults": {
    "results": [
      {
        "credential": "VerifiableDiploma",
        "policies": [
          {
            "policy": "signature",
            "is_success": true
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}
```

The `verificationResult` field will be `true` if all policies were successful, otherwise it will be `false`.

The `policyResults` field will contain the results of the policies applied to each credential. The `credential` field
will contain the name of the credential, and the `policies` field will contain the results of the policies applied to
the credential. The `policy` field will contain the name of the policy, and the `is_success` field will contain the
result of the policy.
