Verifiable Credentials & DIDs: Wallets, OIDC Flows, SD-JWT, and Secure Messaging

By Trex Team

"Verifiable Credentials & DIDs: Wallets, OIDC Flows, SD-JWT, and Secure Messaging"

Verifiable Credentials are moving from lab demos to regulated, adversarial production environments-and the engineering bar is rising accordingly. This book is written for experienced architects and senior developers who need more than vocabulary: a coherent mental model of issuer-holder-verifier systems, clear trust boundaries inside real wallets, and a threat baseline that survives phishing, replay, misbinding, and correlation pressure.

You will learn to implement and harden the core standards that now define the VC ecosystem: W3C VCDM v2.0 semantics, DID Core and trustworthy resolution, JOSE validation discipline, SD-JWT (RFC 9901) selective disclosure, and the industrial issuance and presentation flows of OpenID4VCI and OpenID4VP. The focus stays practical: building deterministic wallet pipelines, designing minimal-disclosure requests, performing verifier-side validation from JOSE checks through domain policy, and operating issuer infrastructure with key rotation, auditability, and compromise response.

Coverage also extends beyond redirects into real product workflows: DIDComm v2 secure messaging patterns, mediator routing hygiene, hybrid OIDC+messaging channel binding, and the emerging W3C Digital Credentials API with browser-mediated origin constraints. Readers should be comfortable with modern cryptography and OAuth/OIDC concepts; the differentiator here is depth, trade-off clarity, and an implementation-first approach to security and privacy.
