Deploying the Verifier

What We Are Doing:

• Creating a Verifier service using One-Click Deployment.

Why: The Verifier ensures that presented credentials are valid, coming from a trusted Issuer, and meet the required criteria. It automates cryptographic checks and provides a simple API.

Steps:

1. In the One-Click Deployment platform, create a new Verifier.

2. Once active, note down necessary details. These variables can be found after clicking on the Verifier Details in the One-Click Deployment portal.

   • VERIFIER_SERVICE_URL (e.g., https://your-verifier.evdi.app) (the URL where the Verifier is hosted)

   • VERIFIER_CLIENT_SECRET (e.g., your-verifier-secret) (the secret used to authenticate requests to the Verifier)

3. Store these in your .env file so your application can access them securely:

   VERIFIER_SERVICE_URL=https://your-verifier.evdi.app
   VERIFIER_CLIENT_SECRET=your-verifier-secret

After storing these details in .env, they will be easily accessible in your code using process.env.VERIFIER_SERVICE_URL and process.env.VERIFIER_CLIENT_SECRET, and you can use them in your CMD or terminal to interact with the Issuer service (to use it you muse run source .env in your terminal).

Next, we will configure a verification flow in our backend.
