Christos contributed to the Orange-OpenSource/waltid-identity repository, focusing on digital identity verification and credential workflows. Over six months, he engineered features such as multi-transport device engagement, robust error handling, and advanced credential serialization, using Kotlin and CBOR to ensure secure, interoperable data exchange. He improved API reliability and documentation, modernized build automation with Gradle, and enhanced test coverage for both end-to-end and interoperability scenarios. Christos addressed security and concurrency issues, refactored code for maintainability, and aligned implementations with evolving standards. His work demonstrated depth in backend development, cryptography, and cross-platform integration, resulting in a more reliable and extensible identity platform.

June 2025 delivered targeted improvements across documentation, test stability, build/CI, security correctness, and quality controls for the Orange-OpenSource/waltid-identity project. Key features delivered include updates to OpenAPI and verifier docs reflecting mDL certificate changes and algorithm/trusted root CA modifications, as well as build/CI modernization using Gradle to ensure tests are executed consistently in CI. Major bug fixes reduced test flakiness and hardened cryptographic handling, including corrected raw signature handling for TSE and tightened DS validity periods, complemented by race-condition fixes in policy tests. The combined work improved reliability of the identity verification workflow, accelerated CI feedback, and strengthened overall security and quality gates.

May 2025 performance highlights for Orange-OpenSource/waltid-identity: advanced interoperability and encoding control across EB SI vectors and OID4VCI, with multi-version issuance flows and robust testing. Delivered issuance request encoding control for specific OID4VCI versions, extended credential offer serialization to support multiple encodings, and introduced end-to-end test coverage for piloted EB SI use-cases. Reduced maintenance risk by deduplicating issuance request constructors. Expanded EB SI vector testing to generic Draft11, added issuer API interoperability examples and wallet API end-to-end tests. Enhanced credential definition serialization, added a relaxed serializer for credential maps, and advanced issuer onboarding readiness (IACA and DS), plus groundwork for mDL scenarios with default issuance data and improved documentation. Improved QA and stability through test-suite adjustments, OpenAPI certificate updates, and code cleanup.
