jsonld-signatures-bbs

The following repository contains a linked data proof implementation for creating BBS+ Signatures using BLS12-381 key pairs.

Due to the properties of a BBS+ Signatures, zero knowledge proof can be derived from the signature, where-by the party generating the proof can elect to selectively disclose statements from the originally signed payload.

This library is runnable in browser and Node.js through the WASM based crypto implementation provided by bbs-signatures. Note bbs-signatures also has an optional dependency on node-bbs-signatures which can be used when running in Node.JS environments to obtain better performance. For environments that do not feature WASM support such as react native, bbs-signatures includes an automatic roll back to an asm.js version but note however the performance difference between asm.js and WASM is significant, for those inclined there are runnable benchmarks in bbs-signatures.

Getting started

To use this package within your project simply run

npm install @mattrglobal/jsonld-signatures-bbs

Or with Yarn

yarn add @mattrglobal/jsonld-signatures-bbs

Sample

See the sample directory for a runnable demo.

Examples

The following is an example of a signed JSON-LD document featuring a BbsBlsSignature2020 type signature.

{
  "@context": [
    "https://www.w3.org/2018/credentials/v1",
    "https://w3id.org/citizenship/v1",
    "https://w3id.org/security/bbs/v1"
  ],
  "id": "https://issuer.oidp.uscis.gov/credentials/83627465",
  "type": ["VerifiableCredential", "PermanentResidentCard"],
  "issuer": "did:example:489398593",
  "identifier": "83627465",
  "name": "Permanent Resident Card",
  "description": "Government of Example Permanent Resident Card.",
  "issuanceDate": "2019-12-03T12:19:52Z",
  "expirationDate": "2029-12-03T12:19:52Z",
  "credentialSubject": {
    "id": "did:example:b34ca6cd37bbf23",
    "type": ["PermanentResident", "Person"],
    "givenName": "JOHN",
    "familyName": "SMITH",
    "gender": "Male",
    "image": "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgokJggg==",
    "residentSince": "2015-01-01",
    "lprCategory": "C09",
    "lprNumber": "999-999-999",
    "commuterClassification": "C1",
    "birthCountry": "Bahamas",
    "birthDate": "1958-07-17"
  },
  "proof": {
    "type": "BbsBlsSignature2020",
    "created": "2020-04-26T04:21:07Z",
    "verificationMethod": "did:example:489398593#test",
    "proofPurpose": "assertionMethod",
    "proofValue": "jx2VhjyZqUT91e2OhzweJA7G2u2UvmiDtIfmr+wUWNHWno+UOAh0FaNpM8Br+5j2JBkH981/nO1I7/9PFaRrng6NXu7vzDroKtuyj6nHGkMmGq4OMmBzIqRnG3ybin/Sxmu5YwqOxPMRsWH3H+2wSA=="
  }
}

Whereby a zero knowledge proof disclosing only givenName, familyName and gender can be derived, from the above assertion using the following as the reveal document which is a JSON-LD frame.

{
  "@context": [
    "https://www.w3.org/2018/credentials/v1",
    "https://w3id.org/citizenship/v1",
    "https://w3id.org/security/bbs/v1"
  ],
  "type": ["VerifiableCredential", "PermanentResidentCard"],
  "credentialSubject": {
    "type": ["PermanentResident", "Person"],
    "@explicit": true,
    "givenName": {},
    "familyName": {},
    "gender": {}
  }
}

That gives rise to the output zero knowledge proof

  "@context": [
    "https://www.w3.org/2018/credentials/v1",
    "https://w3id.org/citizenship/v1",
