| name | SSI Authority Agent Back-end |
| description | Application component managing the DID connections and handling the VC/VP related events. |
| pattern(s) | VC |
| application collaboration | Authority Agent |
| Application Service | Description | Pattern |
|---|---|---|
| DID Connection Invitation | Generic. The service generates and provides a JSON invitation (DID document) with which the different stakeholders (e.g., users) can start the process of DID connection establishment. | VC |
| DID Connection Response | Generic. The service validates and checks the user's response to the generated DID connection invitation. As a result of this action, information on the DID connection establishment is provided. | VC |
| VP Validation | The service performs an initial screening and validation of the VP submitted by the user with regard to its schema structure, eIDAS identity matching and the validity of the digital signature. The result of this action is the information on the validity of the VP submitted for the procedure. | VC |
| VP Request | The service, dependant on procedural requirements, generates a request for evidence in the form of verifiable presentations (VPs). It requires evidences to be aligned with a specific VP format. | VC |
| VC Issuing | The service provides functionalities related to (re)issuing of requested evidence in the form of a VC. The VC is issued through an established DID connection and accepted VC. | VC |
| Component | Source | UC | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| SSI Authority Agent REST API | DE4A | Use Case "Diploma/Certs/Studies/Professional Recognition" (SA UC3) | The component that exposes a set of methods as an interface to the Authority Agent's back-end functionalities. |
| Hyperledger Aries server | DE4A | Use Case "Diploma/Certs/Studies/Professional Recognition" (SA UC3) | |
| Hyperledger Aries REST API | DE4A | Use Case "Diploma/Certs/Studies/Professional Recognition" (SA UC3) | The component that exposes a set of methods as an interface to the HL Aries Go functionalities (DID generation, sending VC offer/VC, accepting requests, etc.). The component is used by the SSI Authority Agent REST API to implement SSI funcionalities and communication between the Authority and Edge Agent. |
| Hyperledger Aries Webhooks | DE4A | Use Case "Diploma/Certs/Studies/Professional Recognition" (SA UC3) | The component that enables an automatic detection of changes on the HL Aries server (e.g. user's acceptance of DID connection invitation, VC offer/VC request, etc.). |
