At Jolocom we model verifiable credentials using W3C Verifiable credential specification, aside from some very recent spec modifications. Below you can see an example of a credential, serialized as JSON-LD, stating that the did did:jolo:ffcc8f84fae1b6ad253561d7b78167a661d72f58e86e60dbd04cd9b81096cdbe
is associated with the email address [email protected]
. You might notice that the subject, issuer, and signer of the credential, are the same identity. This can be effectively referred to as a self signed, or self issued, credential.
