The ESS Access Grant Service issues, queries, verifies, derives and status-checks W3C Verifiable Credentials that carry Access Requests and Access Grants — the consent receipts that authorize one agent to read another agent's Pod resources. The service publishes its endpoint map at /.well-known/vc-configuration; on PodSpaces that is https://vc.inrupt.com, which advertises the /issue, /status, /verify, /derive and /query services and Ed25519Signature2020 proofs.
