Paradym enables issuing verifiable credentials to, and verifying credentials from identity wallets. The holder wallet can be a mobile wallet (such as the Paradym Wallet) or a cloud wallet, as long as it aligns with the interoperability profiles and standards used by Paradym.
Paradym primarily focuses on interoperability based on profiles. Profiles can be global (often defined by standard development organizations), or regional (and often defined by governments). Paradym currently supports the EU Digital Identity (EUDI/ARF), HAIP, DIIP, and Aries Interoperability Profile v2 (AIP v2) profiles (see the interoperability profiles section for what each entails and when to choose it).
Usually a service (the issuer) stores information about a user (the holder), and this can then be accessed by another entity (the verifier).
With digital credentials, the holder caries that information themselves, and can choose to share this information with a verifier when needed. The issuer is not involved in the verification process, and the verifier does not need to directly communicate with the issuer to verify the information (except for an optional revocation check):
- Issuer - Creates a credential containing information about an holder, cryptographically signs it and sends it to a holder.
- Holder - Manages their own credentials in a digital wallet. Receives credentials from an issuer, and can share presentations of those credentials with a verifier.
- Verifier - Request presentation of a credential from a holder. Can cryptographically verify the contents of a received presentation, and ensure the content was signed by a specific issuer.
Paradym offers a suite of products for all roles in this model. The platform can be used to issue credentials (issuer role) and request presentations (verifier role), while the Paradym Wallet can be used to receive, store and present credentials (holder role).
Choosing a wallet
The holder wallet is the most important integration decision you make. For most use cases we recommend integrating with an existing identity wallet from an established ecosystem, rather than asking your users to install a new app.
EU Digital Identity (EUDI) wallets — such as France Identité — are emerging across Europe and let you verify the identity of citizens with high assurance and low friction. Building on an existing, commonly government-backed wallet has several advantages:
- Better adoption and a frictionless experience. These wallets ship to large user bases and are increasingly something people already have on their phone, so you avoid the “install yet another app” hurdle.
- Verify credentials already in the ecosystem. You can request and verify documents that are already issued into these wallets — common ones include the Person Identification Data (PID), Proof of Age, and the mobile Driving License (mDL) — without issuing anything yourself.
- Issue alongside government-issued attestations. You can issue your own custom credentials right next to the government-issued documents the user already holds, building on the security and infrastructure of government-backed wallets.
To choose your wallet:
- Integrate with an existing wallet (recommended): Pick one of the supported wallets at the top of this page, such as France Identité.
- Use the Paradym Wallet: The simplest way to get started, but less adoption and does not come with existing credentials you can build on. See Paradym Wallet.
- Bring your own wallet : If the wallet you want to integrate with is not listed yet, see the Custom Wallet page, or reach out to us so we can add it.
A wallet not being listed here does not mean you can’t integrate with it. The list above covers wallets we officially support and document, and we are continuously adding new ones. Many wallets are interoperable through the shared profiles and standards even without a dedicated guide. For EUDI wallets in particular, once you’re registered as a relying party in any EU member state you should be able to request credentials from any EUDI wallet. If the wallet you want to integrate with isn’t listed yet, reach out to us.
Any wallet you integrate with needs to align with the interoperability profiles and standards used by Paradym.
