2vid: To Verifiable Identity

2vid is a storage and management server for Verifiable Credentails.

A request to response

request --> did_authentication --> actions_distribute --> action_authority --> credential_permission --> database_crud --> response

did authentication and authorization

Server authrnticate and did authorize according to following json format. Use jsontokens to generate json string:

{
"did":"did:idhub:0x1234567890exampleEthereumAddress",
"action":"CREATE || READ || UPDATE || DELETE",
"destination":"server handler router url",
"expiration":"Unix timestamp indicates token expiration",
"jwt_iss":"did:idhub:0x1234567890exampleEthereumAddress",
"jwt_sub":"credential subject defined by did application",
"jwt_aud":"did:idhub:0x1234567890exampleEthereumAddress",
"jwt_jti":"credential unique number from did application but optional"
}

Use jsontokens sign the json message, get the request token:

typeJsonTokenstruct {
ClaimJsonstring`json:"msg"`Signaturestring`json:"sig"`
}

Package the token into the request's header field Authentication in the following format:

DIDJsonToken {{TokenString}}

Or use form, json, xml to pass in the request parameters as follows:

typeTokenstruct {
Tokenstring`form:"token" json:"token" xml:"token" binding:"required"`
}

credential permission status

Credential status field indicates CRUD permission in database.

	Reserved	Reserved	DELETED	UPDATED	ISS_UPDATE	ISS_DELETE	AUD_UPDATE	AUD_DELETE
1			allowed but no yet deleted	allowed but no yet updated	iss could update	iss could delete OR confirm deleted	update need aud agree	aud could delete OR confirm deleted
0			forbid to delete OR have been deleted and to be confirmed	have been updated and to be confirmed	iss can not update	iss can not delete OR have been deleted	update don't need aud agree	aud can not delete OR have been deleted

Status for DELETE in database:

• 0011 1010 Both iss and aud can not delete.
• 0001 1011 Deleted by iss and to be confirmed by aud.
• 0001 1110 Deleted by aud and to be confirmed by iss.
• 0011 1011 Can deleted by aud directly.
• 0011 1110 Can deleted by iss directly.

Status for UPDATE in database:

• 0011 0101 Both iss and aud can not update.
• 0011 1101 Can updated by iss directly.
• 0010 0111 Updated by iss and to be confirmed by aud.

Redis Design

Credential CRUD

authentication --> redis hash/mysql select --> status/jwt_id

• hash key: sha3(jwt_iss + jwt_sub + jwt_aud)
• hash value:

{
"status" : "permission int",
"jwt_id" : "mysql id",
"credential" : "json web token"
}

authentication --> redis pub/sub --> redis hash delete --> response --> mysql operation --> redis hash add 5 channles:

• update_tbd [jwt_id, status, credential]
• update [jwt_id]
• delete_tbd [jwt_id, status]
• delete [jwt_id]
• create [credential]

mysql operation --> mysql notification --> redis list --> redis expiration --> mysql notify notify steps:

1. if redis[did:list] exist:
   • yes : return notification list
   • no : next
2. return mysql[did:notifications]
3. redis delete expired notification automatically
