IdentityVerificationClient

A (development) tool to interact with the IdentityVerification contract.

Installation

1. Download the .zip or .tar archive here
2. Extract the archive
3. Go into the bin folder of the extracted archive

Linux / MacOS

4.1 Run the IdentityVerificationClient script

Windows

4.2 Run the IdentityVerificationClient.bat file as administrator

Building

If you don't want to download the preassembled files, build the tool with gradle and the following command:

./gradlew assembleDist

The assembled files can be found in the ./build/distributions/ folder. Gradle version 4.8.1 was used to create the preassembled files

Prerequisite

A Java Runtime Environment (>= Java 8) must be installed

How to

This tool creates the message strings used to go through the verification process. You can use it in two ways.

1. If you don't trust the tool, use it to just create the messages for you. Copy and paste the required messages into and from the tool and ardors official web interface (if you don't run a full node, use jeluridas official testnet node or some.ones testnet node). The messages transmitted by the contract runner can be found as (encrypted) attached messages inside a payment transaction. The messages transmitted by the user need to be included as (encrypted) attached messages, as well.
2. If you trust the tool (validate the code and build it from source if you don't trust), it can guide you through the whole verification process and handles the messaging and token creation for you. You can therefore use it as a stand alone tool without needing to switch to the web interface anymore.

It should be largely self descriptive if you've red the documentation from the IdentityVerification contract.

Misc

This tool has been developed to develop the contract and is therefore not a really beautiful and (end) user friendly tool. It's some kind of development tool for the contract. Some thoughts for a more user friendly web based client can be found here. It's inspired by a competitor from the hackathon who built a really nice frontend to demonstrate the goal of the Identity Verification hackathon Challenge.
