How to Get Started with WeIdentity

Feb 22, 2022 | Blockchain

WeIdentity is an innovative framework that utilizes decentralized identifiers (DIDs) to enhance identity verification and credential issuance. In this article, we will guide you through the setup and use of WeIdentity, including troubleshooting strategies to alleviate common issues.

Understanding WeIdentity

WeIdentity leverages the FISCO-BCOS blockchain framework and follows W3C standards for decentralized identifiers and verifiable credentials. Think of it as a digital identity passport that allows you to verify who you are in the online world without compromising your privacy.

Getting Started with WeIdentity

To use WeIdentity, you will need to familiarize yourself with the following components:

  • WeIdentity DID (Decentralized Identifier): This is your unique digital identity.
  • WeIdentity Credential: This is the proof of your identity or certain attributes associated with you.
  • FISCO-BCOS: This is the underlying blockchain technology that allows secure transactions and identity verification.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Visit the FISCO-BCOS documentation to set up the blockchain environment.
  2. Refer to the W3C DID specification to understand how DIDs work.
  3. Implement the WeIdentity Credential based on the W3C Verifiable Credential Data Model.
  4. Check various use-cases and implementation details available at WeIdentity Use Cases.
  5. For additional configuration details, refer to WeIdentity Specifications.

Understanding the Code

If you find yourself staring at a block of code, it might feel a bit like looking at a recipe with no pictures. Imagine you’re trying to bake a cake; you need the right ingredients measured out correctly, mixed together, and then baked at the right temperature. Similarly, in WeIdentity, each component has to be set up correctly for everything to come together smoothly.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter issues while working with WeIdentity, here are some troubleshooting tips:

  • Cannot connect to FISCO-BCOS: Ensure that your network configuration is properly set and that you can reach the blockchain endpoints.
  • Credential not being accepted: Double-check the format of your Verifiable Credential against the specifications outlined by W3C.
