OpenID

Hovi's Credentials endpoints enable tenants to issue verifiable credentials based on predefined Credential Templates. These endpoints can be used to retrieve and issue credentials that recipients or holders can store securely in digital wallets, such as the Hovi Wallet or any other supported wallet (refer to Hovi Supported Wallets). Once stored, the credentials can be shared with verifiers when needed.

Once a Credential Template is created, it can be reused to issue credentials to multiple recipients across various contexts. They are adaptable across the entire ecosystem, meaning that once a template is in place, it can be leveraged by multiple tenants.

Example: Creating a Credential Offer for OpenID Ecosystem​

Follow these steps to create a credential offer in the OpenID ecosystem.

  1. Visit the Hovi API Reference.
  2. Select the OpenID Ecosystem API tab.
  3. Navigate to the POST - Offer Credential (SD-JWT)​ endpoint and click “Test Request”.
  4. Enter the API key as a Bearer Token, provide the body parameters, and click “Send”.
  5. The credentialOfferIUrl leads to a QR code that the holder can scan using the Hovi Wallet or any supported third-party wallet (refer to Hovi Supported Wallets) to receive the credentials offer request in their wallet.

Once the request is accepted, the credentials will be delivered to the holder’s wallet, where they can be stored securely and shared when needed.
