Issuer

The role of an issuer is to generate and deliver credentials that are composed of claims based on a predefined schema.

A person’s physical trait or assigned attribute is examined, enabling the entity to issue a verifiable credential. This credential, structured according to a well-defined schema for an identity instrument, is delivered to the subject associated with the identity traits that is referenced in the claims.

For example, college transcripts, driver licenses, auto insurance cards, and building permits.
