This repository contains normative documents defining protocols and flows of the Eclipse Decentralized Claims Protocol Specification (DCP). The specification defines an interoperable overlay to the Dataspace Protocol Specification (DSP) for conveying organizational identities and establishing trust in a way that preserves privacy and limits the possibility of network disruption.
The scope of the Eclipse DCP specification includes:
- Specifying a format for self-issued identity tokens
- Defining a protocol for storing and presenting Verifiable Credentials and other identity-related resources
- Defining a protocol for parties to request credentials from a credential issuer
Eclipse DCP supports multiple trust anchors and allows participants to manage and verify presentations without needing third-party systems outside their control.
Eclipse DCP includes a Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) that can be used to test implementation compliance to the specification.
