Verifiable Credentials

TODO: Write content for this page.

How to build applications that issue and verify credentials on ICP. Cover the VC architecture: issuer canisters that create credentials, relying party canisters that verify them, and Internet Identity as the identity layer. Explain the VC specification, credential lifecycle (issuance, presentation, verification), and privacy-preserving properties. Include practical examples for common use cases: age verification, KYC attestation, membership proof. Show both issuer and relying party implementation patterns.
