With our bleeding-edge 3.0 release of the Anonyome Labs decentralized identity (DI) mobile wallet SDK just coming hot off the press, we’re excited to announce that we’ve already pushed the version 3.1 release out the door, packing new features to enhance the SDK even more.
As a refresher, our DI mobile wallet SDK lets our customers easily integrate DI and verifiable credential (VC, or reusable credential) solutions into their applications. The DI mobile wallet SDK is a native SDK for both iOS and Android and notably does not rely on any third-party frameworks such as JavaScript frameworks.
Our 3.0 release primarily brought in European Union Digital Identity (EUDI) aligned standards, such as OpenID4VC (OpenID4VCI and OpenID4VP) and IETF SD-JWT VCs. Our 3.1 release continues this trajectory by adding support for the modern industry-leading DI trust infrastructure, Cheqd.
Consumers now have more choice of decentralized and scalable infrastructure to underpin their DI operations
Decentralized identifiers (DIDs) provide cryptographic infrastructure to many of the credential formats in the DI ecosystem. As such, it’s crucial that Anonyome supports a wide range of DID types (methods), so our customers can choose the best method for their use case.
Within the 3.1 release of the mobile wallet SDK, we bundle in new support for resolving three DID methods that are gaining mass adoption: Cheqd, Web, and JWK.
With this integration, consumers now have more options for a decentralized and scalable infrastructure to support their DI operations. This is particularly timely because Sovrin, one of the original DI ledgers our edge agent supported, unfortunately announced it will probably end operations in 2025. Cheqd is a comparable modern alternative.
We’ve also added support for the Cheqd Anoncred method, allowing the mobile wallet SDK to receive Anoncred-formatted VCs, in addition to IETF SD-JWT VCs and W3C VCDM VCs, secured by Cheqd Trust Infrastructure. This work is in tandem with Cheqd’s recent efforts in ACA-Py, which allows ACA-Py cloud agents to issue and verify VCs backed by Cheqd.
As usual, we’ve actively tested our SDK solution against the issuer and verifier open source software in the DI ecosystem, ACA-Py and Credo-ts, to ensure we remain interoperable with other agents.
Best of all, Anonyome has open sourced these new DID resolvers within VCX, a codebase we contribute to and maintain.
Where to next?
We are excited to have checked off these new DID suites from the roadmap outlined in our recent 3.0 release announcement. Looking ahead, we will continue to pursue the features on that roadmap, including enhancements to the OpenID4VC protocol suite—particularly as OpenID approaches 1.0 releases of these standards—and the ongoing expansion of DID methods, such as did:webvh (formerly did:tdw).
What’s more, we are actively developing a security enhancement to allow SDK consumers to leverage hardware security modules (HSMs), such as those built into modern mobile phones, for performing the cryptography that secures their DI use cases. This feature is in alignment with EUDI regulations, which you can read more about here.
Stay tuned for our next DI mobile wallet SDK announcement.
