The Credential Handler API (CHAPI) enables integration with Issuers, Verifiers, and Wallets as defined in the Verifiable Credentials Data Model specification.

Issuers

a role an entity can perform by asserting claims about one or more subjects, creating a verifiable credential from these claims, and transmitting the verifiable credential to a holder.

a role an entity performs by receiving one or more verifiable credentials, optionally inside a verifiable presentation for processing. Other specifications might refer to this concept as a relying party.

Wallets

a program, such as a storage vault or personal verifiable credential wallet, that stores and protects access to holders' verifiable credentials.
