A Complete Guide to the Affinidi Console
Affinidi Console is a one-stop shop that provides a suite of tools that make it easy for builders to create personalized and privacy-preserving applications. It provides data control and ownership to end-users and empowers you to leverage the advantages of a decentralized data ecosystem.
With Affinidi Console, you can access many services that work on top of Affinidi’s APIs. Also, you can unlock and verify fully portable Verifiable Credentials (VCs) — tamper-evident and W3C-standard digital credentials that can be verified cryptographically. So far, Affinidi Console consists of nine services/components:
- Schema Manager
- Bulk Issuance
- Registry
- Cloud Wallet
- Edge Wallet
- Paper Check
- Digital Check
- Rules Engine
- Consent Manager
Let’s take a detailed look at each of these components.
Schema Manager
Schema Manager is a tool to manage, create, clone, update, and reuse credential types and existing schemas.
It can come in handy for developers, product managers, or engineers tasked with building an SSI application and face the problem of ensuring trust between actors (mainly, Issuers and Verifiers).
Bulk Issuance
Bulk Issuance is for you if you’re someone who issues VCs frequently and in large numbers. Our Bulk Issuance component allows you to issue VCs in batches, based on the contents of a CSV file and structured according to the selected VC schema.
Bulk issuance saves you a lot of time and effort.
Paper Check
Paper Check enables you to extract information from documents that cannot be digitally verified (paper certificates, PDF reports, etc.). This tool standardizes the extracted data into defined schemas and reviews the authenticity of the documents. (Note: We can’t fully guarantee the authenticity of paper documents).
Digital Check
Digital Check is similar to Paper Check but extracts information from digital documents. Specifically, you can use this product to extract information from digitally verifiable documents, standardize the extracted data into defined schemas, and verify the authenticity of these documents.
Rules Engine
Rules Engine is a service that allows customers to check the data/documents submitted by end-users against their business rules for further processing and decision-making. These business rules are configurable using a web-based frontend.
Registry
Affinidi Registry is a secure place to store a list of trusted and verified data providers for your organization.
Cloud Wallet
Affinidi’s Cloud Wallet is a centralized storage solution for storing and sharing verifiable credentials. Also, this end-to-end solution can fit well into decentralized environments as well.
Edge Wallet
Edge Wallet is a decentralized wallet storage service that stores all data on a customer’s device.
Consent Manager
Affinidi’s Consent Manager is a privacy and data protection solution that enables application owners and organizations to manage end-customers’ consent through VCs. It is a plug-and-play solution that can integrate with your existing or future applications and scale well with your business growth.
