derived proof from document with urn:uuid format id does not verify

[lemoustachiste]

So following this problem when verifying a derived document: mattrglobal/node-bbs-signatures#211,

I have found that the issue is coming from this piece of information from my initial document:

"id": "urn:uuid:bbba8553-8ec1-445f-82c9-a57251dd731c",

There are 2 levels to the issue.

If I remove the document id altogether, then my reveal document is properly formed and verifies - but I have mangled with potentially critical data in the system:

  }
}

If I remove the urn:uuid prefix, then the derived document verifies, but it lacks the expected information from the reveal document:

}

What put me on the trail to identify this problem is this line: https://github.com/mattrglobal/jsonld-signatures-bbs/blob/master/src/BbsBlsSignatureProof2020.ts#L131, however I am not sure this is the actual final culprit. From what I can see in the sample demo, https://github.com/mattrglobal/jsonld-signatures-bbs/blob/master/sample/ts-node/src/demo_single.ts, the original id of the initial document is preserved, so it does not seem to be expected that we should modify the id to essentially create a new document.

For all intent and purposes, this derived document (with the original id) will not verify:

Hi @lemoustachiste can you provide an example of the reveal document you are using?

[lemoustachiste]

sure,

{
  "@context": [
    "https://www.w3.org/2018/credentials/v1",
    "https://w3id.org/blockcerts/v3",
    "https://w3id.org/security/bbs/v1"
  ],
  "type": [
    "VerifiableCredential",
    "BlockcertsCredential"
  ],
  "credentialSubject": {
    "@explicit": true,
    "name": {},
    "claim": {
      "@explicit": true,
      "name": {}
    }
  }
}

I've also noticed that credentialSubject keeps the original id in the derived document, is this expected?

Yes any node in the graph (JSON-LD document) that already has an ID will be preserved as you derive sub-graphs, if the node does not have an ID then one is assigned.
