Verifiable Credentials and Presentations
Issue Verifiable Credentials with Credo, signed by cheqd Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs).
Credo provides full support for working with Verifiable Credentials (VCs) and Verifiable Presentations (VPs), based on the standards defined by the W3C and the Aries RFCs.
Credo enables users to issue, hold, present, and verify credentials in a secure and interoperable way using DIDComm messaging and OpenID for Verifiable Credential protocols. This functionality forms the foundation of any Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) ecosystem.
