Velocity Credential Agent Integration

Overview

This user story covers the integration with the Velocity Credential Agent for credential issuance, verification, and status synchronization, enabling the platform to operate seamlessly within the Velocity Network ecosystem.

User Stories

Integrate with Velocity Credential Agent API

As a platform administrator,
I want to integrate with the Velocity Credential Agent,
So that the platform can issue and verify credentials on the Velocity Network with full functionality.

Acceptance Criteria: - Given the platform needs to interact with the Velocity Network - When the Velocity Credential Agent integration is implemented - Then the system should: - Establish secure API connections to the Velocity Credential Agent - Support all credential issuance operations through the agent - Handle credential verification requests via the agent - Maintain persistent connections with appropriate failover - Implement proper authentication and authorization for agent access - And the integration should support both sandbox and production environments - And API calls should include proper error handling and retry logic - And the integration should be monitored for health and performance - And all agent interactions should be logged for audit purposes

Implement Credential Issuance Integration

As a staffing company user,
I want to issue credentials through the Velocity Credential Agent,
So that candidates can receive verifiable credentials in their digital wallets.

Acceptance Criteria: - Given I need to issue credentials to candidates - When I create credential offers through the platform - Then the system should: - Format credential data according to Velocity Network standards - Submit credential issuance requests to the Velocity Credential Agent - Receive and process credential offer responses - Generate QR codes and deep links for credential claiming - Track credential status throughout the issuance process - And the integration should support both individual and batch credential issuance - And credential offers should be properly formatted for mobile wallets - And issuance should work with all supported Velocity credential types - And failed issuance attempts should be handled gracefully with retry mechanisms

Implement Credential Verification Integration

As a staffing company user,
I want to verify credentials through the Velocity Credential Agent,
So that I can trust the authenticity of credentials disclosed by candidates.

Acceptance Criteria: - Given I need to verify disclosed credentials - When I submit credentials for verification - Then the system should: - Submit verification requests to the Velocity Credential Agent - Receive comprehensive verification results - Process the 5-point verification response (holder, issuer, expiration, tampering, revocation) - Update credential status based on verification results - Generate verification reports with detailed results - And verification should work for credentials from the entire Velocity ecosystem - And verification results should be stored for audit and compliance purposes - And the system should handle verification failures and provide clear error messages - And batch verification should be supported for multiple credentials

Synchronize Credential Status

As a platform administrator,
I want to synchronize credential status with the Velocity Credential Agent,
So that the platform reflects real-time credential states across the network.

Acceptance Criteria: - Given credentials have been issued through the platform - When credential status changes on the Velocity Network - Then the system should: - Receive status update notifications from the Velocity Credential Agent - Process webhook callbacks for status changes - Update local credential records with new status information - Notify relevant users of status changes - Maintain audit logs of all status changes - And status synchronization should happen in real-time where possible - And the system should handle temporary connectivity issues gracefully - And status updates should be validated before applying to local records - And conflicting status information should be resolved according to defined rules

Implement Error Handling and Retry Logic

As a platform administrator,
I want to implement robust error handling for Velocity Credential Agent interactions,
So that temporary failures don't disrupt platform operations.

Acceptance Criteria: - Given interactions with the Velocity Credential Agent may fail - When errors occur during agent communication - Then the system should: - Implement exponential backoff retry logic for transient failures - Distinguish between retryable and permanent errors - Log detailed error information for troubleshooting - Provide meaningful error messages to users - Maintain system stability during agent unavailability - And retry attempts should be limited to prevent infinite loops - And critical errors should trigger immediate alerts to administrators - And the system should gracefully degrade functionality when the agent is unavailable - And error patterns should be analyzed to improve system reliability

Co-locate Infrastructure with Credential Agent

As a platform administrator,
I want to co-locate platform infrastructure with the Velocity Credential Agent,
So that network latency is minimized and reliability is maximized.

Acceptance Criteria: - Given the platform infrastructure is deployed - When co-location is implemented - Then the system should: - Deploy platform components in the same AWS region as the Velocity Credential Agent - Optimize network routing between platform and agent - Implement dedicated network connections where beneficial - Monitor network performance and latency metrics - Configure appropriate security groups and network ACLs - And co-location should reduce API call latency to under 50ms - And network connectivity should be highly available with redundancy - And security should be maintained while optimizing for performance - And co-location benefits should be measured and reported

Monitor Integration Health

As a platform administrator,
I want to monitor the health of the Velocity Credential Agent integration,
So that I can proactively identify and resolve integration issues.

Acceptance Criteria: - Given the Velocity Credential Agent integration is operational - When monitoring is implemented - Then the system should track: - API Response Times: Average and percentile response times for agent calls - Success Rates: Percentage of successful API calls vs failures - Error Rates: Frequency and types of errors encountered - Throughput: Number of operations processed per time period - Availability: Uptime and availability of the agent service - And monitoring should provide real-time dashboards and alerts - And historical performance data should be maintained for trend analysis - And integration health should be included in overall system health reporting - And automated alerts should be sent for performance degradation or failures

Document Integration Points

As a platform administrator,
I want to maintain comprehensive documentation of the Velocity Credential Agent integration,
So that the integration is well-understood and can be maintained effectively.

Acceptance Criteria: - Given the Velocity Credential Agent integration is implemented - When documentation is created - Then the documentation should include: - API Specifications: Complete documentation of all agent API endpoints used - Data Formats: Credential and verification data format specifications - Error Handling: Comprehensive error codes and resolution procedures - Configuration: Environment variables and configuration parameters - Troubleshooting: Common issues and resolution steps - And documentation should be kept current with integration changes - And documentation should include code examples and usage patterns - And integration architecture should be clearly diagrammed - And operational procedures should be documented for support teams

Technical Notes
