Fractal DID SDK

This is the SDK for interacting with Fractal's DID Credentials.

After a user performs KYC with Fractal, that data is processed and a DID credential is generated.

Instalation

To add the dependency to your project, simply do:

yarn add @trustfractal/sdk

Usage

The Credentials are generated and signed by Fractal's server. Once your KYC is approved, our servers will generate a credential. If you have the Fractal Wallet installed, it should automatically sync.

You can find examples of integrating with Fractal DIDs in our docs.

Right now, two types of credentials are supported:

• Ethereum;
• Cardano.

Generating and signing a credential

The credentials are generated for KYCs of one of the following types:

• plus+liveness+wallet
• plus+liveness+wallet+sow
• plus+liveness+wallet-eth
• plus+liveness+wallet-eth+sow
• plus+selfie+wallet
• plus+selfie+wallet+sow
• plus+selfie+wallet-eth
• plus+selfie+wallet-eth+sow
• plus+liveness+accreditation+wallet
• plus+liveness+accreditation+wallet+sow
• plus+liveness+accreditation+wallet-eth
• plus+liveness+accreditation+wallet-eth+sow
• plus+selfie+accreditation+wallet
• plus+selfie+accreditation+wallet+sow
• plus+selfie+accreditation+wallet-eth
• plus+selfie+accreditation+wallet-eth+sow

import { Credential } from "@trustfractal/sdk";

const level = "plus+liveness+wallet";

// Your data
// Find the required fields for each KYC level at
// src/Schema/schemas.ts
const properties = {
  place_of_birth: "New Zealand",
  residential_address_country: "NZ",
  residential_address: "Fake St.",
  date_of_birth: "1990-01-01",
  full_name: "JOHN CITIZEN",
  identification_document_country: "NZ",
  identification_document_number: "00000000",
  identification_document_type: "passport",
  liveness: true,
  wallet_currency: "ETH",
  wallet_address: address,
};

// Builds an Ethereum credential
// To build a Cardano credential, ensure the wallet_currency field is ADA
// and call Credential.Cardano.build
const credential = Credential.Ethereum.build(properties, level);

The generate credential has the following format:

Credential {
  properties,          // user raw data
  hashTree,            // tree of hashes containing a nonce and the hashed value
  rootHash,            // the hash of all hashes in the tree tree, identifies it
  subjectAddress,      // the user wallet address
  issuerAddress,       // the address of the Fractal signer
  issuerSignature,     // signature from Fractal verifying your data is correct
  countryOfIDIssuance, // coded tier of the country the user's ID document was issued
  countryOfResidence,  // coded tier of the country the user resides in
  kycType,             // coded KYC level
  blockchain,          // coded blockchain for the credential
}

Country Tiers

The countryOfIDIssuance and countryOfResidence fields are numeric fields. They represent a tier of countries the user belongs to, instead of a specific country. Some verifiers require stricter rules and restrict the countries of a user to a certain group. However, the user might not be comfortable with providing that information.

This tiered solution is a compromise on both sides: by verifying a numeric field not bound to a specific country, the verifiers can ensure the credential is valid and from a supported country and the user can safely provide that information without disclosing their own country.

The country tiers are made available in the following spreadsheet.

See selective disclosure if you require access to the data to check a specific country.

KYC Levels

Similarly to the country tiers, the KYC level is also a numeric field. It represents the type of KYC in our system. The following types are supported, followed by their KYC level code:

• plus+liveness+wallet: 1
• plus+liveness+wallet+sow: 2
• plus+selfie+wallet: 3
• plus+selfie+wallet+sow: 4
• plus+liveness+accreditation+wallet: 5
• plus+liveness+accreditation+wallet+sow: 6
• plus+selfie+accreditation+wallet: 7
• plus+selfie+accreditation+wallet+sow: 8

Hash Tree and Root Hash

When a credential is built, a hash tree is generated. This tree is created by hasing the key-value pair with a random nonce. The nonce ensures us no one can figure out the data value from the hash.

The hash of all hashes (+ the owner address) is called the root hash. This root hash acts as a validator that the data hasn't been compromised or tampered with (if somone altered the data, the root hash would not match the hash tree).

Subject Address

Currently, all the accepted Fractal KYC levels require a wallet, which means that the subject address is automatically infered when building a claim, based on the schema of the KYCs they are creating the credential for.

Issuer Signature

After the credential is generated, it must be signed by Fractal. This is done internally in the following manner:

import { utils as ethersUtils } from "ethers";
import { Credential } from "@trustfractal/sdk";

const credential = Credential.Ethereum.build(properties, kycLevel);

// Generate the hash and sign it
const hashToSign = credential.generateHash();

// The fractal variable is our private signer wallet.
const signature = await fractal.signMessage(ethersUtils.arrayify(hashToSign));

credential.setSignature(signature, issuer.address);

The Fractal signature is a classic signature over the Solidity Keccak256 of the subject address, the KYC type, country of residence, country of ID issuance and the root hash:

// The internal hash generation
public generateHash(): Hash {
  return ethersUtils.solidityKeccak256(
    ["address", "uint8", "uint8", "uint8", "bytes32"],
    [
      this.subjectAddress,
      this.kycType,
      this.countryOfResidence,
      this.countryOfIDIssuance,
      this.rootHash,
    ]
  );
}

Once that signature is generated and set in the credential, you can be confident that the data in there is valid.

Supported Blockchains

Currently, supported blockchains are:

1. Ethereum - available via Credential.Ethereum.
2. Cardano - available via Credential.Cardano.
3. Solana - available via Credential.Solana.

The credential has a special numeric field called blockchain, specifying which of the three blockchains the credential refers to.

Verifying a credential

You can verify if a credential is by calling the verifyIntegrity and verifySignature methods.

verifyIntegrity runs the verification to ensure the hash tree is intact and the root hash matches the corresponding hash tree.

verifySignature ensures the issuerSignature and issuerAddress fields are set, verifying if they match.

On-chain verification

The idea behind this type of credentials is that they can be perform on-chain without accessing any user data.

To do that, we recommend the following:

• Request the user the empty credential (not containing any data) - this can be done via Fractal OAuth or by interacting with the Fractal Wallet.
• Submit the kycType, countryOfIDIssuance, countryOfResidence, rootHash and issuerSignature fields to a verify function.
• In the smart contract: generate the expected signable hash (see Issuer Signature) and verify the signature.

Our recommended implementation is:

  function verify(
    uint8 kycType,
    uint8 countryOfIDIssuance,
    uint8 countryOfResidence,
    bytes32 rootHash,
    bytes calldata issuerSignature
  ) external pure returns (bool) {
    bytes32 signable = computeKey(
      sender,
      kycType,
      countryOfIDIssuance,
      countryOfResidence,
      rootHash
    );

    // FRACTAL_SIGNER is a hard-coded address for valid Fractal Signatures
    return verifyWithPrefix(signable, issuerSignature, FRACTAL_SIGNER);
  }

  function computeKey(
    address sender,
    uint8 kycType,
    uint8 countryOfIDIssuance,
    uint8 countryOfResidence,
    bytes32 rootHash
  ) public pure returns (bytes32) {
    return keccak256(
      abi.encodePacked(
        sender,
        kycType,
        countryOfResidence,
        countryOfIDIssuance,
        rootHash
      )
    );
  }

  function verifyWithPrefix(
    bytes32 hash,
    bytes calldata sig,
    address signer
  ) internal pure returns (bool) {
    return _verify(addPrefix(hash), sig, signer);
  }

  function addPrefix(bytes32 hash) private pure returns (bytes32) {
    bytes memory prefix = "\x19Ethereum Signed Message:\n32";

    return keccak256(abi.encodePacked(prefix, hash));
  }

  function _verify(
    bytes32 hash,
    bytes calldata sig,
    address signer
  ) internal pure returns (bool) {
    return recover(hash, sig) == signer;
  }

Active signing keys

The current active signing keys (FRACTAL_SIGNER in the previous example) are:

• Staging: 0xa372CA5A906f7FAD480C49bBc73453672d4d375d
• Production: 0xa3015543Ce7da7B9708076C1171E242C36452F10

Selective Disclosure

The users can provide access to only specific data: credential.removeProperty("myProperty") will remove that same property from the properties field, meaning the receiver won't have access to it.

Internally, it also removes the nonce from the hash tree: this allows anyone to use the hash to compute the root hash and validate the integrity of the data and, consequently, the Fractal signature, without compromising the data:

const credential = Credential.Ethereum.build(properties, level);

credential.removeProperty("full_name");

console.log(credential.verifyIntegrity()); // true
