# SSI Hub

## SSI Hub

NodeJS server application using [NestJS](https://nestjs.com/) framework. The server caches specific smart contract data such as [ENS namespaces](https://ens.domains/) and [DID documents](https://docs.energyweb.org/legacy-documentation/foundational-concepts/self-sovereign-identity-introduction#did-documents) in order to improve read-query performance for applications and packages that rely on on-chain data.

The SSI Hub also facilitates the credentials exchange between credential requesters and issuers, which enables other applications such as [Switchboard](https://docs.energyweb.org/legacy-documentation/ew-dos-technology-components-2023/identity-and-access-management-iam/broken-reference) or [Decentralized Service Bus](#decentralized-service-bus) to use credentials for role permissioning.

SSI Hub **persists** the following information that is created, read and updated by the [IAM library](#identity-access-and-management-iam-client-library):

* Organization namespaces
* Application namespaces
* Role namespaces
* User [credentials](https://github.com/energywebfoundation/ewf-gitbook/blob/develop/foundational-concepts/credentials.md)
