Overview

The Core SDK (@hovi/core-sdk) is the foundation for building identity solutions at the ecosystem and tenant level. It provides developers with the tools to create, manage, and orchestrate workflows around credential issuance, verification, and trust relationships across supported ecosystems such as OpenID, Indicio, Cheqd, and Privado.

What Core SDK Enables​

  • Ecosystem & Organization Management Create and manage tenants, handle configuration, and govern ecosystem-level operations.
  • Credential Issuance & Revocation Define credential templates, issue credentials in multiple formats (e.g., SD-JWT, JSON-LD, mDocs), and revoke them when necessary.
  • Proof & Presentation Flows Build verification workflows by sending proof requests, validating responses, and managing proof lifecycle events.
  • Standards & Interoperability Support for widely adopted protocols and credential formats, ensuring compatibility across different ecosystems and partners.
  • Scalability & Enterprise Use Designed for high-volume and compliance-heavy use cases, enabling large-scale issuance, revocation, and verification processes.

Why Use Core SDK​

  • Organizational Business Wallets – Build and manage business wallets for enterprise credential issuance, verification, and management at scale.
  • Issue, Verify & Manage Credentials – Complete credential lifecycle operations with intuitive methods for creating, verifying, and managing credentials across your organization.
  • Multi-Format Support – Work seamlessly with various credential formats and standards, ensuring compatibility across different identity ecosystems and protocols.
  • Compliance Ready – Built to support eIDAS 2.0, GDPR, and ISO 27001 standards, helping you maintain regulatory compliance while managing digital credentials.
  • Developer-Friendly – Integrate organizational wallet capabilities into your applications with comprehensive documentation and secure infrastructure managed by Hovi.

The Core SDK is the backbone for organizations that need to operate at the ecosystem level — managing tenants, issuing credentials, and verifying trust — while maintaining interoperability and security across identity networks.
