Sunbird RC is an open-source (MIT license), configurable, extendable, modular software to rapidly build and deploy next-generation electronic registries and verifiable credentials, including attestation and verification flows. "Registries" are fundamental building blocks that enable a single source of truth in various societal contexts. This is critical to activate and govern an ecosystem and enable trust among all participants of that ecosystem. People registries for entitlements, donor registries in health, establishment registries such as hospitals, schools, etc, company registry, device registries, vehicle registries, credential registries for digital locker like solutions, plat/animal registries; farmer, FPO, and agricultural registries; family registries; MSME & micro-entrepreneur registries for access to credit; registry of gig-economy workers (blue-collar workers, drivers, delivery agents, etc) for transferable verifiable work history; student registry for holistic progress card and interoperable learning credentials; school and teacher registry with quality indicators, etc are examples from the real world. Idea of decentralized registries, attestations for higher trust, issuance of credentials, etc, are truly fundamental building blocks for any digital transformation project. All digital platforms require master data and actor (person/entity/thing) data related to that system to be maintained for identification, validation, etc. As the world becomes data-rich, it is essential that various data about people, entities, geographies, resources, assets, etc., are made available in electronic registries with Open APIs for other applications to seamlessly validate and use attested and authenticated data. This is even more critical when it comes to people and entities where various claims can be electronically validated against such registries via open APIs, avoiding paper-based validations, thus increasing trust while decreasing the cost of validation. An interoperable and unified registry infrastructure needs to be built to enable "live", "reusable", “linked”, and “trustworthy” registries are key to any large-scale societal transformation. Sunbird RC, as a generalized building block, is used to create the Digital Infrastructure for Vaccination Open Credentialing (DIVOC) solution to support countries with their vaccination effort. DIVOC builds on top of Sunbird RC to digitize the generation of a vaccination certificate available both in electronic form and printable copy downloaded from the central vaccination database. Governments across the world (India, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, etc) have used DIVOC (built using Sunbird RC) to roll out digital vaccination platforms. In addition, Sunbird RC is also used in the digital infrastructure for India’s education. Also, Sunbird RC has been leveraged for the pilot roll-out of the Organ Donation Pledge Registry in India. Organ Registry serves as a centralized repository for information on individuals in the country committed to donating organs.
Not core: The project includes optional AWS KMS integration for encryption key management, activated only when configured. Elasticsearch is configurable to work with 7.x and 8.x versions, some of which may be under source-available, non-OSI-approved licenses. The project includes an optional Microsoft SQL Server JDBC driver, with PostgreSQL as the primary supported database.

PII data is collected and stored but NOT distributed.
Sunbird RC software has implemented many best practices to keep user data safe and secure such as attribute visibility, user consent, data security, etc. Management of PII/non-PII data in Sunbird RC is purely a “highly extensible/configurable/non-opinionated open-software solution”, and it’s source code lies in GitHub (Sunbird RC is not a ‘hosted service or product’). Implementers/adopters of Sunbird RC, have the autonomy to decide “what” fields to be capture/maintain, “what” other systems will they integrate with, “will” they share this data with other authorized parties (e.g. one Government sharing this dataset with other Government, or one Department sharing this dataset with other Department). While the Sunbird RC technical architecture has taken privacy and security controls into consideration as default implementation, it is up to the Implementers/Adopters to establish a privacy policy at their end to cover the various implementation scenarios (e.g. management & sharing of PII/non PII data).
