discloseValues function

String discloseValues(dynamic plaintextCredential, List<String> valuesToDisclose)

Discloses all values in valuesToDisclose of plaintextCredential.

valuesToDisclose contains the keys of the attributes, that should be disclosed. Keys in nested object should be separated with . (point) from the parent-key, like here: Imagine your plaintext Credential look like this:

{
  "@context": [
    "https://bccm-ssi.hs-mittweida.de/credentials"
  ],
  "type": "ImmatrikulationCredential",
  "issuanceDate": {
    "value": "2021-03-09",
    "salt": "0830fac0-ae9e-4097-85b0-03ddb3557eb6",
    "hash": "0x9e51f7c66036d0eb2fcc3c1c5d9da18f96ae880681a676dcc92a3be22e4d7523"
  },
  "student": {
    "type": "Student",
    "givenName": {
      "value": "Max",
      "salt": "b36a876c-2029-417a-93fb-b4daf75ed959",
      "hash": "0x30aa2b081c358aafdbbeb9436a167ee9e5bb003a8bd892ef33d50ba78ce1834e"
    },
    "familyName": {
      "value": "Mustermann",
      "salt": "2f55f35d-72a9-4986-8986-93d4e4d6f3bf",
      "hash": "0x6be6118a83dd2b1c5a050da46ea301fe5512245d9cfb9966b88219b1ee54e8ba"
    },
    "address": {
      "type": "PostalAddress",
      "addressLocality": {
        "value": "Mittweida",
        "salt": "40f1403a-984f-41ed-8821-b987fe556a36",
        "hash": "0x97144b9ff02df331935d394cd790a1ab76bf9c6a5b0747c3f03db931103cdf56"
      },
      "postalCode": {
        "value": "09648",
        "salt": "83cd01c2-0a30-4907-b8cd-0bd5808a217e",
        "hash": "0x254cfac1490b2f8330925374de8a40b8c6d5efe41b3f80e0fe67c3c8cf783b8f"
      },
      "streetAddress": {
        "value": "Am Schwanenteich 8",
        "salt": "6fd7baf8-f798-4fde-86e2-d19203d9caf6",
        "hash": "0x4b2e396e631e5a391cf6415bd3110fa420fc7167509ef15407ee48b6f827be9c"
      }
    }
  }
}

and you only want to show your familyName and the postalCode of your living place, a working call of this function would be :

discloseValues(
plaintextCredential,
[issuanceDate,
  student.givenName,
  student.address.addressLocality,
  student.address.streetAddress
 ])

If there is an array in the plaintext-Credential the array elements that should be disclosed, could be given as follows: arrayKey.arrayIndex e.g. friends.1. ArrayIndex starts with 0.
