HealthCards Sample Scripts for Python

Installation

Run the install.sh script in this directory.

./install.sh

The install script takes care of setting up your virtual environment, installing dependencies, etc.

Activating your Virtual Environment

Before you can run scripts, you must first activate your virtual environment. You can do this with the following command:

source myenv/bin/activate

Generate a DID

To generate a random DID, use the following command:

python generate_random_did.py did.json

This script will generate the necessary JWK formatted keys and create a new DID based on them, saving them did.json.

Generate a VC

To generate a sample VC, use the following command:

python encode_resource.py did.json ./fixtures/vc-c19-pcr-jwt-payload.json sample_vcs/sample.fhir-backed-vc

This script uses the DID config defined in did.json, generates a new VC based on ./fixtures/vc-c19-pcr-jwt-payload.json, and saves that in sample_vcs/sample.fhir-backed-vc.

Verify a VC

To verifiy a VC, use the following command:

python decode_resource.py sample_vcs/sample.fhir-backed-vc

This script loads the VC from sample_vcs/sample.fhir-backed-vc, and verifies it based on the DID encoded in the JWS header.
