VC API

Overview

The VC API provides a collection of HTTP request methods that involves Verifiable Credentials (VCs). This API allows a credential issuer to register a new VC with the vc_register operation or revoke an exisiting VC the vc_revoke operation. When a credential holder presents a VC to a credential verifier, the verifier could then obtain the VC's verification key with a GET request.

In the same way as the DID API, HTTP requests to a IDIN server must be in the JSON format with two attributes "message" and "signature". One distinction to the DID API is the GET method for a VC's verification key that requires no request body.
