zkPass credentials

The Verida Wallet supports zkPass verifiable credentials. This allows users to receive and store zkPass credentials as well as reply to proof requests in a privacy-preserving way thanks to zkPass technology.

To learn more about zkPass, check zkPass official doc and head over to zkPass developer documentation.

Wallet Users

Users can install the Verida Wallet to receive verifiable credentials from Issuers using the Zero Knowledge technology. These credentials are stored in your Vault (your private and secured storage space on the Verida Network) and therefore shown in the Verida Wallet alongside other credentials.

Verifiers can also send you zkPass proof requests. The Verida Wallet will automatically generate the Zero-Knowledge proof (ZKP) for you and send it to the Verifier. The Zero-Knowledge proof means no data is actually shared with the Verifier, only the fact that you have a valid credential satisfying the request.

Request zkPass credential

You can request credentials which is generated from zkPass protocol for your purpose.

Example code

  const did = "..."; // Verida Did
  // Get message object from verida context
  const messaging = await context.getMessaging();

  // setup a callback to show the response
  await messaging.onMessage((data) => {
    // This callback should be called once user shares credential
    console.log('Received credentials: ', data);
  });

  const messageType = "inbox/type/dataRequest";
  const config = {
    did,
    recipientContextName: "Verida: Vault",
  };
  const dataToSend = {
    requestSchema: "https://common.schemas.verida.io/credential/base/v0.2.0/schema.json",
    filter: {
      $or: [
        { credentialSchema: "https://common.schemas.verida.io/credential/zkpass/v0.1.0/schema.json" }
      ]
    },
    userSelect: true,
  };

  // This is the DID the message will go to
  const requestFromDID = did;
  const messageSubject = "Please select your verifiable credential to verify",

  const res = await messaging.send(
    requestFromDID,
    messageType,
    dataToSend,
    msg.messageSubject,
    config
  );

  console.log("Request sent");

Issuing a zkPass credential

You need to install zkPass TransGate extension to issue zkPass credentials.

If you don't have credentials in your Verida Wallet, you can issue zkPass credential through the proof-connector. You need to provide veridaDid where generated credential will go to in the url. For example, the url can be like this:

Available zkPass schemas

It redirects you to page where you select schemas. Once you select schema from zkPass protocol, you can start the process to create credentials.

Example code

It will redirect you to the platform (For example: Binance) and once you click Start button in TransGate extension, the the process should start.

Verifying a zkPass credential

The proof-connector can verify a zero-knowledge proof generated from a zkPass credential stored in the user's Verida Wallet. More information is available in the zkPass Verification documentation.
