EBSI
The European Social Security Pass (ESSPASS) aims to simplify how individuals use their social security benefits in EU countries. The initial stage of ESSPASS focuses on digitally issuing and verifying a portable document A1 (PDA1) that certifies the applicable social security legislation for work in EU member states. Here is how it works using the European Blockchain Service Infrastructure (EBSI):
Request an ESSPASS - PDA1: An individual verifies their identity and requests the issuance of an ESSPASS - PDA1 as a verifiable credential (VC).
The back-office processes the request and issues an ESSPASS - PDA1 verifiable credentials to the individual, which is then stored in the Data Wallet.
Verification: Any third-party organization needing to confirm the validity of PDA1 credentials can request and verify them against the EBSI trust anchor.
1a. Request issue
1b. Identify and request issue.
2. Issue ESSPASS - PDA1
3. Verify
Scan the QR code to Identify yourself and request an ESSPASS - PDA1. The issuer could configure the identification, for example with a national ID (E.g. BankID in Sweden). In this demo, we used a PIN code to authenticate the user as part of an OpenID workflow.
User PIN to connect and obtain the ESSPASS credential: 7164.
