Certificates
Different Sovrin capabilities use designated certificates.
Mobile Credentials
Mobile Credentials are verified based on a chain of trust model via a series of certificates, all of which must be validated for the Mobile Credential to be verified. Refer to chain of trust for more information.
To issue Mobile Credentials on your Sovrin tenant, you will need to create two types of certificates that comprise this chain of trust:
-
Issuing Authority Certificate Authority (IACA): Create an IACA to sign Document Signers.
-
Document Signer Certificate (DSC): Use the IACA to sign a Document Signer Certificate.
Digital COVID Certificate (DCC)
The Digital Covid Certificate (DCC) format allows issuing digital health certificates that can represent an individuals' COVID-19 vaccine, test or recovery status. Sovrin provides the capability to issue and verify DCCs as a Sovrin extension.
To issue DCCs on your Sovrin tenant, you will need to create a DCC Document signer.
