EveryCRED Verifier JS :lock:

Version: 1.0.15 :bookmark_tabs:

EveryCRED Verifier JS is a custom verifier designed to verify EveryCRED credentials according to the W3C credentials standard.

Installation

You can install the library using npm:

npm i @viitorcloudtechnologies/everycred-verifier-js

Verifier Steps :clipboard:

The EveryCRED Verifier JS follows the following steps to validate credentials:

1. Validators :white_check_mark:: Check the authenticity and integrity of the credential.

   • Authenticity checks :closed_lock_with_key:: Verify the authenticity of the credential.
   • Integrity Checks :closed_lock_with_key:: Check the integrity of the credential.
   • Issuer check :passport_control:: Validate the issuer of the credential.
   • Data Validation :abacus:: Perform validation on the credential data.
   • Checksum Match (Hash Comparison) :arrows_clockwise:: Compare hashes to ensure the integrity of the credential.
     • Blockchain Hash Fetch :link:: Fetch the blockchain hash of the credential.
     • Generate Credential Hash :1234:: Generate a hash of the credential.
     • Checksum Integrity :heavy_check_mark:: Compare the generated hash with the blockchain hash.

2. Status Check :vertical_traffic_light:: Perform checks related to the status of the credential.

   • Credential Revocation check :no_entry_sign:: Check if the credential has been revoked.
   • Credential Expiration check :alarm_clock:: Verify if the credential has expired.

Package Verification Steps :package:

The verifier performs detailed verification steps on the package:

1. Validator :white_check_mark:: Check the validity of the credential fields.

   • type :heavy_check_mark:: Verify if the "type" field exists and supports the "VerifiableCredential" type.
   • @context :heavy_check_mark:: Check the existence and validity of the "@context" field.
   • ID (Identifier) :heavy_check_mark:: Verify the existence of the "id" field.
   • credentialSubject :heavy_check_mark:: Check the existence of the "credentialSubject" field and validate its information.
   • Issuer :heavy_check_mark:: Verify the existence and validity of the "issuer" field.
     • Fetch Issuer profile information from the issuer link.
     • Check the validity of the "@context" field in the Issuer profile.
     • Validate the Issuer profile type against the supported types.
     • Check if the "id" matches the issuer link fetched from the credential.
     • Verify the existence of the Issuer's name and email.
     • Check if the revocation list exists.
     • Check the existence and format of the public key.
     • Fetch the Revocation List from the issuer profile.
   • ValidUntil (Optional) :heavy_check_mark:: Check the existence and format of the "validUntil" field.
   • Proof :heavy_check_mark:: Check the existence and validity of the "proof" field.
     • Validate the fields within the proof.
     • Verify the support for the current proof type ("MerkleProof2019").
   • IssuanceDate :heavy_check_mark:: Check the existence of the "issuanceDate" field.

2. Checksum Match (Hash Comparison) :arrows_clockwise:: Compare hashes to ensure the integrity of the credential.

   • Note: For the first version, only "MerkleProof2019" is supported.

   • Decode "proofValue" and extract signature details.

     • We use MerkleProof2019 algorithm to decode the "proofValue" and extract the signature details. This will be used for the previously issued credentials.
     • We use ED25519 algorithm to decode the "proofValue" and extract the signature details. This will be used for the newly issued credentials.

   • Validate the existence of the "anchors" keyword with valid data.

   • Ensure that the following key fields exist in your credentials:

     • "path"
     • "merkleRoot"
     • "targetHash"
     • "anchors"

   • Separate the transaction ID and blink value.

   • Apply chain condition and call the corresponding API:

     • EthereumMainnet
     • EthereumRopsten
     • EthereumSepolia
     • PolygonMainnet
     • PolygonTestnet

   • Handle API responses:

     • Success: Retrieve the data and get the hash of the credentials from the transaction data.
     • Error: Return the error from the API or indicate transaction lookup errors or transaction not found errors.

3. Status Check :vertical_traffic_light::

   • Revocation :no_entry_sign:: Check if the "revocationList" exists in the credential and fetch the revocation list details.
     • Validate the "@context" field in the revocation list.
     • Check the validity of the revocation list type against the supported types.
     • Verify the "id" key against the revocation link fetched from the credential.
     • Check if the issuer list exists and match the issuer link from the issuer profile.
     • Verify the existence of "revokedAssertions".
     • Find the credential ID in the revocation list and return a message if revoked.
     • If the ID matches, retrieve the revocation message and indicate that the credential is revoked with the given message.
     • If not matched, consider the credential valid and not revoked.
   • Expiration (ValidFrom & ValidUntil) :date:: Validate today's date with the "validFrom" & "validUntil" dates.
