Christos Savvaidis contributed to the Orange-OpenSource/waltid-identity repository, focusing on expanding digital identity issuance and verification workflows. He engineered robust API integrations and refactored core modules to support evolving OpenID Connect and EBSI standards, using Kotlin and TypeScript. His work included implementing deferred and batch credential issuance, enhancing OpenAPI documentation, and improving test automation for end-to-end flows. By addressing critical bugs in nonce handling and metadata serialization, Christos improved system reliability and interoperability. He also strengthened CI/CD pipelines and code organization, ensuring maintainable, versioned APIs that align with industry protocols and support secure, cross-platform verifiable credential exchanges.

May 2025 monthly summary for Orange-OpenSource/waltid-identity: Focused on expanding issuance workflows, broadening EBSI interoperability, improving testing coverage, and stabilizing nonce handling to deliver business value more reliably. Key features delivered include Deferred Issuance Flow with IssuanceType support and deferred response enhancements, EBSI Vector Interoperability and Verifier API Enhancements with end-to-end test coverage and pilot env support, and enabling ExperimentalJsExport for cross-platform verification policies. A critical bug fix reworked Credential nonce expiration serialization using DurationAsSecondsSerializer. The team also completed multiple EBSI-related fixes to profile input descriptors, pilot environment, content types, input descriptor IDs/paths, and revocation policy. These efforts improve issuance time-to-value, interoperability across issuer/verifier ecosystems, and overall system reliability.
