Security Web Authorization Protocol security oauth2 sd-jwt This specification describes data formats as well as validation and processing rules to express Verifiable Credentials with JSON payloads based on the Selective Disclosure for JWTs (SD-JWT) format. It can be used without any selective disclosable claims, too.

Introduction

Issuer-Holder-Verifier Model In the so-called Issuer-Holder-Verifier Model, Issuers issue Verifiable Credentials to a Holder, who can then present the Verifiable Credentials to Verifiers. Verifiable Credentials are cryptographically signed statements about a Subject, typically the Holder.

Issuer-Holder-Verifier Model with optional Status Provider +------------+ | | | Issuer | | | +------------+ | Issues Verifiable Credential | v +------------+ | | | Holder | | | +------------+ | Presents Verifiable Credential | v +-------------+ | |+ +------------+ | Verifiers ||+ | Status | | |||----- optionally ------->| Provider | +-------------+|| retrieve status of | | +-------------+| Verifiable Credential +------------+ +-------------+

Verifiers can check the authenticity of the data in the Verifiable Credentials and optionally enforce Key Binding, i.e., ask the Holder to prove that they are the intended holder of the Verifiable Credential, for example, by proving possession of a cryptographic key referenced in the credential. This process is further described in . To support revocation of Verifiable Credentials, revocation information can optionally be retrieved from a Status Provider. The role of a Status Provider can be fulfilled by either a fourth party or by the Issuer. This specification defines Verifiable Credentials based on the SD-JWT format with a JWT Claim Set. It can be used when there are no selective disclosable claims, too.

Rationale JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) can in principle be used to express Verifiable Credentials in a way that is easy to understand and process as it builds upon established web primitives. Selective Disclosure JWT (SD-JWT) is a specification that introduces conventions to support selective disclosure for JWTs: For an SD-JWT document, a Holder can decide which claims to release (within bounds defined by the Issuer). SD-JWT is a superset of JWT as it can also be used when there are no selectively disclosable claims and also supports JWS JSON serialization, which is useful for long term archiving and multi signatures. However, SD-JWT itself does not define the claims that must be used within the payload or their semantics. This specification therefore uses SD-JWT and the well-established JWT content rules and extensibility model as basis for representing Verifiable Credentials with JSON payload. Those Verifiable Credentials are called SD-JWT VCs. SD-JWTs VC can contain claims that are registered in "JSON Web Token Claims" registry as defined in , as well as public and private claims. Note: This specification does not utilize the W3C's Verifiable Credentials Data Model v1.0, v1.1, or v2.0.

Requirements Notation and Conventions The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119 .

Terms and Definitions This specification uses the terms "Holder", "Issuer", "Verifier", "Key Binding JWT" defined by .

Verifiable Credential (VC):

An Issuer-signed assertion with claims about a Subject.

SD-JWT-based Verifiable Credential (SD-JWT VC):

A Verifiable Credential encoded using the format defined in . It may or may not contain selectively disclosable claims.

Unsecured Payload of an SD-JWT VC:

A JSON object containing all selectively disclosable and non-selectively disclosable claims of the SD-JWT VC. The Unsecured Payload acts as the input JSON object to issue an SD-JWT VC complying to this specification.

Status Provider:

An entity that provides status information (e.g. revocation) about a Verifiable Credential.

Scope

• This specification defines
  • Data model and media types for Verifiable Credentials based on SD-JWTs.
  • Validation and processing rules for Verifiers and Holders.

Use Cases TBD: explain use cases of the Issuer-Holder-Verifier Model. TBD: conventional crypt, hardware security, hsm, mobile secure area, compliance with FIPS

Verifiable Credentials based on SD-JWT This section defines encoding, validation and processing rules for SD-JWT VCs.

Media Type SD-JWT VCs compliant with this specification MUST use the media type application/vc+sd-jwt as defined in .

Data Format SD-JWT VCs MUST be encoded using the SD-JWT format defined in Section 5 of . A presentation of an SD-JWT VC MAY contain a Key Binding JWT. Note that in some cases, an SD-JWT VC MAY have no selectively disclosable claims, and therefore the encoded SD-JWT will not contain any Disclosures.

Header Parameters This section defines JWT header parameters for the SD-JWT component of the SD-JWT VC. The typ header parameter of the SD-JWT MUST be present. The typ value MUST use vc+sd-jwt. This indicates that the payload of the SD-JWT contains plain JSON and follows the rules as defined in this specification. It further indicates that the SD-JWT is a SD-JWT component of a SD-JWT VC. The following is a non-normative example of a decoded SD-JWT header: { "alg": "ES256", "typ": "vc+sd-jwt" }

Claims This section defines the claims that can be included in the payload of SD-JWT VCs.

type claim This specification defines the JWT claim type. The type value MUST be a case-sensitive StringOrURI value serving as an identifier for the type of the SD-JWT VC. A type defines which claims may or must appear in the Unsecured Payload of the SD-JWT VC and whether they may, must, or must not be selectively disclosable. This specification does not define any type values; instead it is expected that ecosystems using SD-JWT VCs define such values including the semantics of the respective claims and associated rules (e.g., policies for issuing and validating credentials beyond what is defined in this specification). The following is a non-normative example of how type is used to express a type: { "type": "IdentityCredential" } For example, a type IdentityCredential can be defined such that at least the registered JWT claims given_name, family_name, birthdate, and address must appear in the Unsecured Payload. Additionally, the registered JWT claims email and phone_number, and the private claims is_over_18, is_over_21, and is_over_65 may be used. The type might also indicate that given_name, family_name, birthdate, address can be selectively disclosable.

Registered JWT Claims SD-JWT VCs MAY use any claim registered in the "JSON Web Token Claims" registry as defined in . If present, the following registered JWT claims MUST be included in the SD-JWT and MUST NOT be included in the Disclosures, i.e. cannot be selectively disclosed:

• iss
  • REQUIRED. The Issuer of the Verifiable Credential. The value of iss MUST be a URI. See for more information.
• iat
  • REQUIRED. The time of issuance of the Verifiable Credential. See for more information.
• nbf
  • OPTIONAL. The time before which the Verifiable Credential MUST NOT be accepted before validating. See for more information.
• exp
  • OPTIONAL. The expiry time of the Verifiable Credential after which the Verifiable Credential is no longer valid. See for more information.
• cnf
  • REQUIRED when Cryptographic Key Binding is to be supported. Contains the confirmation method as defined in . It SHOULD contain a JWK as defined in Section 3.2 of . For Cryptographic Key Binding, the Key Binding JWT in the Combined Format for Presentation MUST be signed by the key identified in this claim.
• type
  • REQUIRED. The type of the Verifiable Credential, e.g., IdentityCredential, as defined in .
• status
  • OPTIONAL. The information on how to read the status of the Verifiable Credential. See for more information.

The following registered JWT claims MAY be contained in the SD-JWT or in the Disclosures and MAY be selectively disclosed:

• sub
  • OPTIONAL. The identifier of the Subject of the Verifiable Credential. The Issuer MAY use it to provide the Subject identifier known by the Issuer. There is no requirement for a binding to exist between sub and cnf claims.

Public JWT claims Additional public claims MAY be used in SD-JWT VCs depending on the application.

SD-JWT VC without Selectively Disclosable Claims An SD-JWT VC MAY have no selectively disclosable claims. In that case, the SD-JWT VC MUST NOT contain the _sd claim in the JWT body. It also MUST NOT have any Disclosures.

Example The following is a non-normative example of an unsecured payload of an SD-JWT VC. { "type": "IdentityCredential", "given_name": "John", "family_name": "Doe", "email": "johndoe@example.com", "phone_number": "+1-202-555-0101", "address": { "street_address": "123 Main St", "locality": "Anytown", "region": "Anystate", "country": "US" }, "birthdate": "1940-01-01", "is_over_18": true, "is_over_21": true, "is_over_65": true } The following is a non-normative example of how the unsecured payload of the SD-JWT VC above can be used in a SD-JWT where the resulting SD-JWT VC contains only claims about the Subject that are selectively disclosable: { "_sd": [ "09vKrJMOlyTWM0sjpu_pdOBVBQ2M1y3KhpH515nXkpY", "2rsjGbaC0ky8mT0pJrPioWTq0_daw1sX76poUlgCwbI", "EkO8dhW0dHEJbvUHlE_VCeuC9uRELOieLZhh7XbUTtA", "IlDzIKeiZdDwpqpK6ZfbyphFvz5FgnWa-sN6wqQXCiw", "JzYjH4svliH0R3PyEMfeZu6Jt69u5qehZo7F7EPYlSE", "PorFbpKuVu6xymJagvkFsFXAbRoc2JGlAUA2BA4o7cI", "TGf4oLbgwd5JQaHyKVQZU9UdGE0w5rtDsrZzfUaomLo", "jdrTE8YcbY4EifugihiAe_BPekxJQZICeiUQwY9QqxI", "jsu9yVulwQQlhFlM_3JlzMaSFzglhQG0DpfayQwLUK4" ], "iss": "https://example.com/issuer", "iat": 1683000000, "exp": 1883000000, "type": "IdentityCredential", "_sd_alg": "sha-256", "cnf": { "jwk": { "kty": "EC", "crv": "P-256", "x": "TCAER19Zvu3OHF4j4W4vfSVoHIP1ILilDls7vCeGemc", "y": "ZxjiWWbZMQGHVWKVQ4hbSIirsVfuecCE6t4jT9F2HZQ" } } } Note that a cnf claim has been added to the SD-JWT payload to express the confirmation method of the Key Binding.

Verification and Processing The recipient (Holder or Verifier) of an SD-JWT VC MUST process and verify an SD-JWT VC as described in Section 6 of . If Key Binding is required (refer to the security considerations in Section 9.6 of ), the Verifier MUST verify the Key Binding JWT according to Section 6 of . To verify the Key Binding JWT, the cnf claim of the SD-JWT MUST be used. For the verification, the iss claim in the SD-JWT MAY be used to retrieve the public key from the JWT Issuer Metadata configuration (as defined in ) of the SD-JWT VC issuer. Alternative methods MAY be used to obtain the public key to verify the signature of the SD-JWT. If there are no selectively disclosable claims, there is no need to process the _sd claim nor any Disclosures. If status is present in the verified payload of the SD-JWT, the status SHOULD be checked. It depends on the Verifier policy to reject or accept a presentation of a SD-JWT VC based on the status of the Verifiable Credential. Any claims used that are not understood MUST be ignored. Additional validation rules MAY apply, but their use is out of the scope of this specification.

JWT Issuer Metadata This specification defines the JWT Issuer Metadata to retrieve the JWT Issuer Metadata configuration of the JWT Issuer of the JWT. The JWT Issuer is identified by the iss claim in the JWT. Use of the JWT Issuer Metadata is OPTIONAL. JWT Issuers publishing JWT Issuer Metadata MUST make a JWT Issuer Metadata configuration available at the path formed by concatenating the string /.well-known/jwt-issuer to the iss claim value in the JWT. The iss MUST be a case-sensitive URL using the HTTPS scheme that contains scheme, host and, optionally, port number and path components, but no query or fragment components.

JWT Issuer Metadata Request A JWT Issuer Metadata configuration MUST be queried using an HTTP GET request at the path defined in . The following is a non-normative example of a HTTP request for the JWT Issuer Metadata configuration when iss is set to https://example.com: GET /.well-known/jwt-issuer HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com If the iss value contains a path component, any terminating / MUST be removed before inserting /.well-known/ and the well-known URI suffix between the host component and the path component. The following is a non-normative example of a HTTP request for the JWT Issuer Metadata configuration when iss is set to https://example.com/user/1234: GET /.well-known/jwt-issuer/user/1234 HTTP/1.1 Host: example.com

JWT Issuer Metadata Response A successful response MUST use the 200 OK HTTP and return the JWT Issuer Metadata configuration using the application/json content type. An error response uses the applicable HTTP status code value. This specification defines the following JWT Issuer Metadata configuration parameters:

• issuer REQUIRED. The JWT Issuer identifier, which MUST be identical to the iss value in the JWT.
• jwks_uri
  • OPTIONAL. URL string referencing the JWT Issuer's JSON Web Key (JWK) Set document which contains the JWT Issuer's public keys. The value of this field MUST point to a valid JWK Set document. Use of this parameter is RECOMMENDED, as it allows for easy key rotation.
• jwks
  • OPTIONAL. JWT Issuer's JSON Web Key Set document value, which contains the JWT Issuer's public keys. The value of this field MUST be a JSON object containing a valid JWK Set. This parameter is intended to be used by JWT Issuer that cannot use the jwks_uri parameter.

JWT Issuer Metadata MUST include either jwks_uri or jwks in their JWT Issuer Metadata, but not both. It is RECOMMENDED that the JWT contains a kid JWT header parameter that can be used to lookup the public key in the JWK Set included by value or referenced in the JWT Issuer Metadata. The following is a non-normative example of a JWT Issuer Metadata configuration including jwks: { "issuer":"https://example.com", "jwks":{ "keys":[ { "kid":"doc-signer-05-25-2022", "e":"AQAB", "n":"nj3YJwsLUFl9BmpAbkOswCNVx17Eh9wMO-_AReZwBqfaWFcfG HrZXsIV2VMCNVNU8Tpb4obUaSXcRcQ-VMsfQPJm9IzgtRdAY8NN8Xb7PEcYyk lBjvTtuPbpzIaqyiUepzUXNDFuAOOkrIol3WmflPUUgMKULBN0EUd1fpOD70p RM0rlp_gg_WNUKoW1V-3keYUJoXH9NztEDm_D2MQXj9eGOJJ8yPgGL8PAZMLe 2R7jb9TxOCPDED7tY_TU4nFPlxptw59A42mldEmViXsKQt60s1SLboazxFKve qXC_jpLUt22OC6GUG63p-REw-ZOr3r845z50wMuzifQrMI9bQ", "kty":"RSA" } ] } } The following is a non-normative example of a JWT Issuer Metadata configuration including jwks_uri: { "issuer":"https://example.com", "jwks_uri":"https://jwt-issuer.example.org/my_public_keys.jwks" } Additional JWT Issuer Metadata configuration parameters MAY also be used.

JWT Issuer Metadata Validation The issuer value returned MUST be identical to the iss value of the JWT. If these values are not identical, the data contained in the response MUST NOT be used.

Presenting Verifiable Credentials This section defines encoding, validation and processing rules for presentations of SD-JWT VCs.

Key Binding JWT If the presentation of the SD-JWT VC includes a Key Binding JWT, the following claims are used within the Key Binding JWT:

• nonce
  • REQUIRED. String value used to associate a transaction between a Verifier an a Holder, and to mitigate replay attacks. The value is passed through unmodified from the Verifier to the Key Binding JWT. Sufficient entropy MUST be present in the nonce values used to prevent attackers from guessing values.
• aud
  • REQUIRED. The intended recipient of the Key Binding JWT which is typically the Verifier. See for more information.
• iat
  • REQUIRED. The time of issuance of the Key Binding JWT. See for more information.
• exp
  • OPTIONAL. The expiration time of the signature when the Key Binding is no longer considered valid. See for more information.

The Key Binding JWT MAY include addtional claims which when not understood MUST be ignored.
