New Features

SD-JWT VC & W3C SD-JWT Support for External Signatures for Receiving & Presenting Credentials in Wallet API

Receive and present credentials using external signatures now in SD-JWT VC and W3C SD-JWT format next to the already supported W3C JWT.

Learn more about it:

• Receive Credentials

• Present Credentials
  

DID Lib updates

We've extended the did:web interface to now support:

• Multiple keys to be included in the resulting DID document.

• Fine-grained control on which property (e.g., assertionMethod, capabilityInvocation etc.) each input key will be assigned towards.

• Service blocks.

• Other custom attributes.

• Key rotation.

Updated usage examples for Kotlin can be found here

Updated Presentation Definition Policy in Verifier API

Request and verify specific claims (even if they are selectively disclosable) by using the updated presentation definition policy and the input descriptor.

You can find an example in verifier API Swagger Docs called "SD-JWT-VC verification example with mandatory fields" here
