How Do You Create Decentralized Identity With Dock Certs?

With a Dock Wallet and Dock Certs, you can create a DID by following these steps:

1. Create an account on Dock Certs and login. If you’re just getting familiar with the platform, you can use Test mode.

2. Click Create Verifiable Credential on the top right.

3. Create the issuer profile (a university for example) and you can leave the Key Type to the default setting. Then select Create a DID.

4. Choose among the basic template options, select the DID, click Continue on the top right.

Issuing a Verifiable Credential in a Decentralized Identity System

1. You can add credential recipients manually one by one or in bulk with the Import CSV option.

2. If you add someone manually, you will enter details like this example below where we are identifying someone by their employee number. Once you fill in all of the details, click Add Recipient.

3. The information will appear like this:

4. If you want to do bulk issuance, you can also import a CSV file. Download the sample template, fill it in, and upload it**.**

5. The next option is to Persist the credential which means that Dock will securely store the credential on our database (but NOT on the blockchain).

If you persist the credential, there will be a QR code that shows up on the PDF where the recipient can simply scan the QR code with their Dock Wallet app to import the credential in their wallet.

6. There is an option to add a registry (record) on the blockchain allowing this credential to be revoked.

7. You can anchor the credential which will add a hash of the credential (like a digital fingerprint) you issue on the Dock blockchain. This allows someone to verify when and who created it.

8. Next click Issue Credentials on the top right and you will be able to download the credentials in JSON and PDF formats. A JSON file is a file that stores simple data structures and objects in JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format, which is a standard data interchange format.

The Basic PDF credential will look like this:

It’s important to know that if you don’t persist or download the credential, you can’t get it back.

9. The issuer can email the PDF and JSON files to the recipient. Soon we will be releasing the Relay Service to automatically send the credential to the recipient's wallet.

10. If there is no QR code on the PDF file (because the credential wasn’t persisted), then the recipient has to download and import the JSON file. To do this select Credentials, click on the + sign on the top right corner, and select the JSON file.

11. The credential will immediately appear in the Dock Wallet.

如何使用Dock Certs创建去中心化身份？

使用Dock钱包和Dock证书，您可以按照以下步骤创建DID：

1. 在Dock Certs上创建帐户并登录。如果您刚开始熟悉该平台，可以使用测试模式。

2.单击右上角的创建可验证凭据。

3.创建发行方概要文件（例如大学），然后将密钥类型保留为默认设置。然后选择创建DID。

4.在基本模板选项中选择，选择DID，然后单击右上角的继续。

在去中心化身份系统中发布可验证凭据

1. 您可以手动逐个添加凭据接收者，也可以使用导入CSV选项批量添加凭据接收者。

2.如果您手动添加某人，则需要输入以下示例中的详细信息，其中我们通过他们的员工编号识别某人。填写所有详细信息后，单击添加接收者。

3.信息将显示如下：

4.如果要进行批量发行，您还可以导入CSV文件。下载示例模板，填写并上传即可**。**

5.接下来是持久化凭据选项，这意味着Dock将安全地存储凭据在我们的数据库中（但不存储在区块链上）。

如果您持久化凭据，则PDF上将显示一个QR码，接收者只需使用Dock钱包应用扫描QR码即可将凭据导入其钱包。

6.有一个选项可以在区块链上添加记录（注册表），允许撤销该凭据。

7.您可以锚定凭据，这将在Dock区块链上添加凭据的哈希（就像数字指纹一样），使某人可以验证何时以及由谁创建了它。

8.接下来，单击右上角的发行凭据，您将能够以JSON和PDF格式下载凭据。 JSON文件是以JavaScript对象表示法（JSON）格式存储简单数据结构和对象的文件，这是一种标准数据交换格式。

基本PDF凭据如下：

重要的是要知道，如果您不持久化或下载凭据，则无法将其取回。

9.发行方可以将PDF和JSON文件发送给接收者。很快我们将发布中继服务，自动将凭据发送到接收者的钱包。

10.如果PDF文件上没有QR码（因为凭据未持久化），则接收者必须下载并导入JSON文件。要这样做，请选择凭据，单击右上角的+符号，然后选择JSON文件。

11.凭据将立即显示在Dock钱包中。
