Credential Data Flow

There are several steps involved in schema creation, credential issuance, and credential verification. Mantis and Vault+ are the Seneca-developed schema marketplace and credential store plus wallet respectively.

Schema Creation

  1. 1.
    The user generates an SR25519 public and private key pair.
  2. 2.
    A user creates a credential schema through the Mantis UI or through a blockchain transaction directly.
  3. 3.
    Next, the user previews the credential fields for the schema, unlocks their Vault+, signs, and submits it to the blockchain.
  4. 4.
    The blockchain runtime uses the signature created and submitted in the previous step as a key and maps it to the schema and stores it in the schema registry.

Credential Issuance

  1. 1.
    The user goes to Mantis (or any other Seneca dApp) and clicks on the “claim credential” button. This opens Vault+. Next, the user submits the necessary data to fulfill and claim the credential. The data can be verified by a third party if required. Finally, the data is signed using the private key corresponding to the DID of the issuer and sent back to the user.
  2. 2.
    Then they execute a transaction to submit the credential to the on-chain credential registry if it is a public credential. Otherwise, the credential is stored in Vault+'s private local storage only.
