The spp_openid_vci_group module extends the functionality of the
spp_openid_vci module to enable the issuance of
Verifiable Credentials (VCs) specifically for groups of registrants,
building upon the group management capabilities provided by the
g2p_registry_group module to enable the
issuance of Verifiable Credentials (VCs) specifically for groups of
registrants, building upon the group management capabilities provided by
the g2p_registry_group module. This module
leverages the existing VC issuance framework to provide a streamlined
process for issuing VCs that represent a group's identity and
attributes.
This module's primary purpose is to:
- Issue Group-Specific VCs: Generate and issue VCs that contain information relevant to a registered group, such as the group's name, type, members, or other relevant attributes.
- Integrate with Group Management: Seamlessly integrate with the group management functionality provided by the g2p_registry_group module, allowing users to issue VCs directly from a group's profile.
The spp_openid_vci_group module works in conjunction with the
following modules:
- spp_openid_vci: Inherits the core VC issuance logic, issuer management, and QR code generation functionality from this module, ensuring consistency in the issuance process for both individuals and groups.
- g2p_registry_group: Fetches group-related data, such as group type and member information, to populate the claims within the VCs. The module also integrates into the group profile view to provide a user-friendly way to issue VCs.
- Group VCI Issuer Type: Introduces a new "GroupRegistry" issuer type within the VCI issuer settings, allowing administrators to configure issuers specifically for generating group-related VCs.
- Group-Specific VC Issuance: Modifies the VC issuance logic to accommodate group-related data, ensuring that the issued VCs contain information specific to the group, such as group name, type, and potentially a list of members.
- Group Profile Integration: Adds a button to the group profile view within the g2p_registry_group module to initiate the VC issuance process directly from the group's record.
- Configuration: An administrator configures a VCI issuer with the type "GroupRegistry" and specifies the data fields for the group VC, including the group name, type, and any other relevant attributes.
- Data Retrieval: When a user initiates the VC issuance process for a group, the module retrieves the necessary information from the group's record, including the group's name, type, and potentially a list of its members.
- VC Generation: The module utilizes the inherited functionality from spp_openid_vci to generate the VC, populating it with the retrieved group-specific data. The VC is then digitally signed to ensure its integrity.
- QR Code Generation: A QR code representing the issued VC is generated and associated with the group's record.
- Presentation on Group Profile: The generated VC or its QR code representation can be displayed on the group's profile within the registry, allowing for easy access and verification.
The spp_openid_vci_group module enhances OpenSPP's Verifiable
Credential issuance capabilities by extending them to groups of
registrants. It leverages the existing VC infrastructure and seamlessly
integrates with the group management functionality to provide a
streamlined process for issuing and managing group-specific VCs. This
integration further strengthens OpenSPP's ability to provide secure and
verifiable digital identities within its ecosystem, encompassing both
individual and group-level representations.
