Create and import Credential Definitions
Introduction:
Credential Definitions enable relying parties “verifiers” to differentiate credentials from different issuers.
While everybody can create a credential definition from a driver licence, there is only one organisation (and therefore credential definition) you accept a driver licence from.
Import credential definitions to ensure a credential comes from an issuer you trust.
Create a credential definition to issue credentials other participants (or you-self) can verify in a trusted manner.

The name will be written to the ledger and displayed in your Lissi agent.

Step 5: Decide whether the Credential definition should be “revocable” or “not revocable”
Revocable means that a specific credential issued to a user can be revoced.
Not revocable means that a specific credential issued to a user can not be revoced.
Step 6: Select a picture (.png file) which will later be displayed as a tile in the Agent

The credential definition will be based on that schema and have the same attributes as the schema.

A new Credential Definition will be created and appear as a new picture in the overview.
It could take some time once the Credential is created (30-60 seconds)
