Lifetime and Expiration for Issuers

Credentials issued with Procivis One have two optional, configurable lifetimes: technical and administrative. This page explains how to set both, and how they both function to control the lifetime of credentials.

How it works​

set one or the other or both ...

Technical lifetime​

Set a technical lifetime in a format's configuration:

format:
  SD-JWT:
    params:
      public:
        expirationSeconds: 63072000 # 2 years
  MDOC:
    params:
      public:
        expirationSeconds: 259200   # 72 hours

This sets an upper limit to the lifetime of any credential issued using this configured format instance. For each format, the appropriate mechanism for setting the expiration is automatically used. In the example above, all SD-JWT VCs issued will include an exp that is two years from the time of issuance, while all mdocs will include an MSO that expires 72 hours after issuance (unless)

Administrative lifetime​

When both are set​

Both lifetimes can be set independently, with no reference to the other. When any lifetime is reached, the credential is expired.
