JSON Web Tokens for everyday usages
summary
Demonstrates using the Web5 SDK to issue W3C verifiable credentials as JWTs, for example a Louisiana mobile driver's license issuing an age-over-21 credential that contains a Boolean claim and is cryptographically signed by a decentralized identifier; verifiers submit a presentation definition, the wallet programmatically selects the matching credential via selective disclosure and returns a proof, Aruba reports zero fraud in pilots, private keys live in KMS or on-device and can be rotated, and Web5 implementations avoid blockchain.
