This repository demonstrates how to integrate Microsoft Entra Verified ID with your Identity Provider for issuing Verifiable Credentials based on identity tokens. In the workshop I have explained how to integrate with Auth0 or Keycloak for issuing VCs. You can also integrate it with other Identity Providers.

On the other hand, we proof how to verify VCs with Microsoft Entra Verified ID Services. Nevertheless, we also provide an app that verifies VCs with the authentication library Sphereon SIOP-OpenID4VP - No Microsoft integration is needed. The library implements the standards Self Issued OpenID Provider v2 (SIOPV2) and OpenID Connect for Verifiable Presentations (OIDC4VP) to be fully self sovereign.

This workshop is based on the concept of Decentralized Identity (also known as Verifiable Credentials) which leads to the idea that identity-related information should be self-controlled, portable and with decentralized identifiers. In short, self-sovereign identity (SSI) or decentralized identity (DID) is a method of identity that centers the control of information around the user. VCs are tamper-proof, cryptographically-verifiable claims made by the issuer. Every attestation that an entity (e.g., an organization) issues is associated with their DID.

The following architecture diagram describes the workshop components involved in the verifiable credentials ecosystem.

The followin gives an overview of how VC works - An article will be released soon with more details, theoretical and technical background about verifiable credentials.

• Magnolia Inc. (issuer) issues Employee credential (verifiable credentials) for your Employees with Microsoft Entra Services. The employees are being authenticated with the Enterprise Identity Provider which is integrated with the Magnolia Employee portal. This portal is capable of issuing Employee Verifiable credentials.
• The employees (holder) use Microsoft Authenticator as the company’s Identity wallet for handling the authentication and verified IDs use cases.
• Orion Global Inc. is a telecommunication company that trusts in the Employee verifiable credentials issued by Magnolia Inc. as proof of Employment. The Telco Portal can validate Magnolia Employee verifiable credentials with Microsoft Entra Services
• eShop is an Online Store that trusts in the Employee Verifiable credentials issued by Magnolia Inc. eShop can validate VCs implementing the standards OIDC4VP with the library Sphereon - this means the app is not integrated with Microsoft Entra.
• The goal is, thanks to the decentralized credentials, that Magnolia employees be capable of providing a proof of Employment to Orion Global to access the portal. On the other hand, Orion is capable of verifying the employee’s authenticity, improving the user experience (KYC) in the customer onboarding and sign in processes and improving the security avoiding Identity fraud.

• Magnolia Inc has configured its tenant configuration for issuing verifiable credentials in Microsoft Entra Verified ID. It also has configured the Azure ID Vault for signing credentials.
• Magnolia Employee portal is a Spring Boot application integrated with OpenID Connect with an Identity Provider. It’s also integrated with Microsoft Entra Verified Services for issuing VCs. It has configured Spring Security OAuth 2.0 for the OpenID Connect integration with IdP and Client Credentials grant with Azure AD.
• After the employee is authenticated, the verifiable credential is configured to use the Identity token claims from the IdP. The employee credential is signed by Magnolia and includes the employees DID as the subject DID.
• Telco Portal is integrated with Microsoft Entra Verified Services for verifying VC on the onboarding and sign-in process. Furthermore, it has configured Spring Security OAuth 2.0 Client Credentials grant with Azure AD.
• eShop Portal is capable of verifying VC thanks to the library Sphereon SIOP-OpenID4VP. The library implements the standard OpenID Connect for Verifiable Presentations (OIDC4VP) and it supports requesting VC using the Presentation Exchange specs.
• Identity Provider manages the identities and exposes the OpenID Connect endpoints for handling the authentication with Magnolia Employee Portal and Microsoft Authenticator (Digital wallet).
• Microsoft Entra Verified ID exposes the verification services for verifiable credentials use cases. Because DIDs are stored on the blockchain, anyone can verify the validity of an attestation by cross-checking the issuer's DID.

• Azure tenant with an active subscription
• Install Git, Docker in order to run the steps provided in the next section
• A mobile device with Microsoft Authenticator
• ngrok and sign up for a free account

1. Obtaining your ngrok public url
   Several endpoints must be published to the Internet. In this case to simplify the workshop, I have used ngrok for exposing those services. Download ngrok and expose the port 80 or just run the following command.

   docker run -it -e NGROK_AUTHTOKEN={your-ngrok-token} ngrok/ngrok:alpine http host.docker.internal:80
   
   Session Status               online                                                                                                    ...
   Forwarding                   https://f27c-190-191-157-39.sa.ngrok.io -> http://localhost     

   You will use this public url for exposing the services to the Internet through an nginx container provided in the workshop, e.g.: DOMAIN_URL: https://6ff7-190-191-157-39.sa.ngrok.io

2. Clone this repository

   git clone https://github.com/twogenidentity/microsoft-verifiable-credentials-workshop
   cd microsoft-verifiable-credentials-workshop

3. Configure your tenant for Microsoft Entra Verified ID

• Create an Azure Key Vault instance
• Set up the Verified ID service with the public url obtained from STEP 1

  e.g:
  Organization name: Magnolia
  Trusted domain: {your-public-url}
  Key vault: {your-kv-vault}
  

• Register an application in Azure AD

4. Configure Service endpoint configuration

• Copy or download the DID document to the did.json and did-configuration.json file in the folder microsoft-verifiable-credentials-workshop

• Add the value of the DOMAIN_URL to the .env file

• Run the following commands to expose those did json files. (e.g: https://domain/.well-known/did.json and https://domain/.well-known/did-configuration.json) with the nginx container

  docker run -it --rm --name lb-did -p 80:80 \
  -v $(pwd)/nginx/base.conf:/etc/nginx/conf.d/default.conf \
  -v $(pwd)/nginx/did-location.conf:/etc/nginx/includes/did-location.conf \
  -v $(pwd)/did.json:/usr/share/nginx/html/did.json \
  -v $(pwd)/did-configuration.json:/usr/share/nginx/html/did-configuration.json nginx:alpine

• Proceed to complete the verification steps in Microsoft Entra

5. Create the verifiable credential VerifiableCredentialEmployee for the workshop:

• Credentials > Select “Custom Credential”

• Credential Name: VerifiedCredentialEmployee

• Copy and paste the content of the file presentation-employee-display.json to Display definition text box

• Then based on your Identity Provider integration:

  • For Auth0: Copy and paste the presentation-employee-rules-auth0.json to Rules definition text box and replace in the Rules Definition textbox the value {AUTH0_DOMAIN} with your Auth0 Tenant
  • For Keycloak: Copy and paste the presentation-employee-rules.json to Rules definition text box and replace in the Rules Definition textbox the value {DOMAIN_URL} with your public domain url

• Click “Create”

  

Once you finish those steps stop the docker container ( Ctrl+C)

1. Adjust the .env file with your configuration.

If you want to run the eShop Portal, since the Spereon library uses DID for the RP, complete the following variables in the .env file with your private key and DID (ION Network):

• VC_ISSUER_PRIVATE_KEY_HEX: Private Key for signing Authz Request. e.g.: 851eb04ca3e2b2589d6f6a7287565816ee8e3126599bfeede8d3e93c53fb26e3
• VC_ISSUER_DID: DID e.g.: ion:EiANaYB43B-E9ngU1Z9XLx8zgIJ6SdOcx74sjeeF7KSa2A
• VC_ISSUER_DID_LONG: DID long format e.g.: did:ion:EiANaYB43B-E9ngU1Z9XLx8zgIJ6SdOcx74sjeeF7KSa2A:...iOnsicHVibG
• VC_ISSUER_DID_KEY: DID Key (Public key) e.g.: "did:ion:EiANaYB43B-E9ngU1Z9XLx8zgIJ6SdOcx74sjeeF7KSa2A#auth-key"

I will release soon a tool that will help you to create the keys and the DID for an ION Network for demo porposes.

2. Proceed to import the OAuth clients with auth0-deploy-cli or create the OAuth clients through the Auth0 Console taking the files in the auth0\node-deploy-cli\data\clients folder as a reference
   Here is explained how to do the importing by using the node app with auth0-deploy-cli:

• Complete the variables in the .env file located in the folder auth0\node-deploy-cli and run the folowing command:

  cd auth0\node-deploy-cli
  npm run auth0:import

3. Adjust the following variables in .env file with the issuer (portal) client id and client secret and the Auth0 issuer URI:

   IDP_OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID:
   IDP_OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET:
   IDP_ISSUER_URI: e.g: {auth0-tenant}.auth0.com

4. Execute following Docker Compose command to start the deployment

   docker-compose -f docker-compose-lb.yml -f docker-compose.yml up

2. Execute following Docker Compose command to start the deployment

   docker-compose -f docker-compose-idp.yml -f docker-compose-lb.yml -f docker-compose.yml up

3. Proceed to initialize the PoC:
   This script will create the OAuth clients and the users.

   docker exec idp /bin/bash /opt/keycloak/init.sh

Here is an overview of the deployed component as a container.
