Identity Service​

This service creates a decentralized identity on the IOTA Tangle and locally manages information for their indexing and search function. This service is provided centrally for ease of use, but we recommend installing it locally in a production-ready scenario.

Prefix: /api/{{version}}/identities

Authentication Service​

You can use this service to allow previously created identities to be authenticated and authorized to use the Bridge. This service is required to maintain the security of the Bridge and audit its use, but you can remove it if the Bridge is deployed locally to each party.

Prefix: /api/{{version}}/authentication

Verification Service​

You can use this service to verify identities and create and verify credentials. This abstraction layer allows every entity to seamlessly deal with IOTA decentralized (SSI) identity implementation.

Prefix: /api/{{version}}/verification
