As conceptualized and standardized by the W3C, the Verifiable Credentials protocol is one of the three pillars of Self-Sovereign Identity, together with the Decentralized Identifiers protocol (DIDs) and Distributed Ledger Technology (or Blockchain). The project aims to design and build a verifiable credential registry (VCR) on GitHub repository, namely GitHub-based Verifiable Credential Registry (GVCR), by leveraging existing GitHub APIs, and other open-source tools provided by other Hyperledger projects, such as Aries, Indy, and Ursa. The basic architecture is already built and can be accessed here. For more details about the conceptional design and workflows, please refer to the GitHub repository GitHub-VCR.

Additional Information

GVCR are Verifiable credential registries that make use of GitHub’s data model and API to offer exactly the same APIs as any other VCR. Further, we need to make a comparison API & data model of both GitHub and Aries VCR.

...

Graduate or master's students preferred. For more details, please refer to the skills section.

Skills

Languages: Shell Scripting, RUST, <Freedom to choose your own tech stack>

We are looking for someone who is interested in programming and has the ability to understand the existing architectures. Any high-level understanding of Decentralized Identity is also desirable to some extent. 

Exposure to Hyperledger Ursa, Hyperledger Aries, or Hyperledger Indy is desirable. Hands-on with shell scripting, knowledge of Git and GitHub, or any kind of Git-based repository is expected. Any high-level understanding of Decentralized Identity is also desirable to some extent.
