Authentication with VCs in an Eclipse-based Data Space using Identity Hub

[albert-lopez]

Hello,

We’re building a data space using Eclipse technology and want participants to authenticate in the marketplace via VCs. I understand that Identity Hub (IH) isn’t designed to handle personal VCs. Is there a way to achieve this using only IH, or would we need to look for another architecture to support this use case? If so, could you provide an example of how this new architecture might look?

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions!

please familiarize yourself with DCP.
IdentityHub is designed to be a DCP-compliant CredentialService. It is not designed to handle general authentication to any random marketplace or something.

I am also not sure why you think we could (or would) provide an architecture schematics to your dataspace.

Thanks @paullatzelsperger for confirming that IH is not primarily designed for this authentication process.
I understand that the question regarding the possible architecture is outside the scope of the IH project. We will continue to explore and investigate the best approach for implementing this on our end.
