Feature additions
Nuts node v6 brings a set of changes that provide improved functionality over already existing features. Note that existing functionality can still be used.
The main goals of the v6 feature additions are:
- Aligning with industry standards (OpenID4VP, DID methods) and EU initiates (ARF) for compatibility
- Improving operations by providing a web-based alternative to the gRPC network
These goals translate to the following added features:
- Support creating and resolving
did:web
as alternative fordid:nuts
- Addition of the "Discovery Service", an address book for use case participants, a safer, more flexible alternative to the gRPC network-based solution of publishing credentials as means of advertising care organizations.
- Support for OpenID4VP as standardized alternative to the Yivi/EmployeeID user authentication flow.
- Support for OpenID4VCI as standardized alternative for issuing credentials to the Nuts node wallet
