Privado ID Web Wallet

The Web Wallet is a secure, web-based identity wallet designed for streamlined credential issuance and verification. It enables users to manage their identity credentials with ease, offering seamless integration with Ethereum wallets for authentication and encryption. The wallet provides features such as multi-device access, embedded credential issuance, and both on-chain and off-chain verification, making it a powerful tool for managing and verifying digital credentials across platforms.

Quick Start​

The Web Wallet is available in the browser at https://wallet.privado.id. To get started, sign in with your crypto wallet and create an identity.

A great starting point to experience the Web Wallet is by using our demo application available at https://web-wallet-demo.privado.id, where you can receive Proof of Liveness and Proof of Uniqueness credentials through the Web Wallet’s embedded issuance and then complete a verification request.

Features​

  • Seamless Authentication and Credential Management: This tool enables users to authenticate via their Ethereum wallets, and automatically creates a derived identity wallet. Credentials undergo encryption using keys and are securely stored in end-to-end encrypted cloud storage*, facilitating effortless access across multiple devices while streamlining processes.
info

*The cloud storage serves as a secure repository for encrypted credentials, offering users the convenience of multi-device access to credentials and serving as a reliable backup solution. When a user signs a message using their Ethereum private key, an identity is derived and storage keys are generated. The digital signature scheme employed is ed25519. All documents stored in the storage are end-to-end encrypted using AES256-GCM, ensuring that only the user with the storage keys can access their credentials, reinforcing the security of the stored information.

note

To sync the identity and its associated credentials between the Privado ID Web Wallet and the Privado ID Wallet App, the user must log in with the same crypto wallet account on both platforms.

  • Enhanced User Experience: Prioritizing simplicity, the Web Wallet presents a user-friendly interface. From identity creation to credential claiming and verification, all steps seamlessly integrate, minimizing complexity.
  • Dashboard: Users can conveniently view and manage their credentials stored in their Identity Wallet from the Dashboard.

  • Query Verification: Users can quickly approve verification requests by validating them against the credentials stored in their wallet.

  • Credential Issuance: Users can easily claim the credentials and store them in their wallet issued by an Issuer.

  • Embedded Issuance: The Web Wallet provides embedded issuance, allowing users to claim their credentials within the verification flow if they haven't done so before.

note

Currently, the tool supports embedded issuance for a limited number of credentials only:

  • Proof of Identity (refer to the schema here)
  • Proof of Life (refer to the schema here)
  • Proof of Uniqueness refer to the schema here)
  • Simplified Integration: Integration into your application is effortless, reducing the development workload and ensuring swift implementation.
  • On-Chain and Off-Chain Query Verification: Supporting both on-chain and off-chain query verification, the Web Wallet offers flexibility to meet diverse verification needs.

User Interface and Experience​

Embedded Issuance and Verification Journey for End Users​

Let's walk through an example scenario: Suppose a user needs to validate their humanity to perform specific actions (e.g. registration or posting a review) within an application.

  1. Initiating the Process: The user clicks the designated button on the application, triggering redirection to the Web Wallet.
  2. Connecting the Wallet: Upon arrival, the user selects 'Sign In' and connects their Ethereum wallet with the tool.
  3. Creating Identity and Accessing Credentials: Next, the user selects 'Sign Message' on MetaMask to create a derived identity wallet and retrieve the encrypted credentials associated with their Ethereum wallet via the cloud storage.
  4. Claiming the Credential: If the user hasn't previously claimed the credential required by the verifier’s request, they proceed by clicking 'Claim Credential' and complete the issuance process (a face scan in this scenario) to claim the credential via the embedded issuance.
  5. Proof Generation: Once the user owns the credential, they can select 'Verify,' triggering the generation of the zk-proof. This proof is then shared with the verifier application for off-chain verification or submitted to the smart contract for on-chain verification.
  6. Verification Completion: The user is finally either automatically redirected or asked to click the ‘Continue’ button, upon which they are redirected to the application where the verification can be completed and the application flow can continue.
note

When a user creates a local account on the Privado ID Wallet app, their credentials will not be synced with the web wallet. In cases where the user is accessing a browser and has previously issued credentials on their mobile device, they can choose the 'Verify on App' option instead of 'Sign In' within the Web Wallet. This action will display a QR code that the user scans using the Privado ID wallet App. Scanning the QR code initiates proof generation and starts the verification process, allowing the user to seamlessly continue verification with the credentials stored on their mobile device.

Integration​

The Web Wallet can be seamlessly integrated into the credential issuance flow by the Issuers and into the verification flow by the Verifiers using Universal Links.

You can experience a demo of the Web Wallet integration here.

caution

The prior method of integrating the Web Wallet using https://wallet.privado.id/#base64EncodedData is now deprecated and will no longer be supported after Release 9.
