Spark Work Permit Wallet

Spark Work Permit Wallet allows users to obtain and store digital verifiable credentials that enable you to manage your Spark Work Permits. The Permit to Work (PTW) process exists to remove or minimise disruption to Spark New Zealand Trading Limited customers or network. The process of creating a permit requires that you obtain digitally enabled credentials unique to each permit, which are then stored in your Spark Work Permit Wallet. This is a unique identifier that allows a permit to be digitally bound to an individual in their wallet to aid verification of a contractor’s identity/eligibility before granting permission to undertake work on the Spark network. There are several steps you will need to go through to use this app effectively: 1. Once you have installed this Wallet App you will need to open the Wallet and set up your wallet with a Pin. Turn on Enable Notifications. Tap Finish. 2. Register with the Spark Digital Permitting Portal (https://serviceassurance.spark.co.nz/PermitOnline). Click on Register in the top right corner. Enter your Email Address and a password. 3. Link your Spark Work Permit Wallet to you Spark Digital Permitting account. Once you register your email and password you will be directed to a screen to Link your Spark Work Permit Wallet to your Spark Digital Permitting Portal Account. Open you Spark Work Permit Wallet on your smart phone and select Scan. Hover the QR scanner over the QR Code shown on the User Registration portal screen for a few seconds. The Wallet will automatically link the Wallet and you will see the Wallet ID displayed as the DID (Decentralized Identifiers) on your Portal account. 4. Create Permit and receive Credentials - (Approved Permit). The contractor accesses the Spark Digital Permitting Portal. Selects the work site, job type and enters the required information about the work they intend to perform. Submit permit request. Once verified and Approved, Spark will generate the Permit to Work as a Verifiable Credential (VC). The contractor(s) receives the credential offer in their wallet(s) and consents to storing it in their digital wallet. 5. Implement Permit - Verify Credentials - (This is when you go on site). The contractor arrives at the site and calls the Spark NOC, 0800 103 060 +1 + 2, to gain access to the site. The Spark NOC generates a credential verification request and triggers that to be sent via a secure message to the contractor’s wallet. The contractor receives a notification through their wallet requesting them to present their Permit to Work credential and enter the site. The contractor consents to present the credential which is then sent back to the requestor. The credential presentation is then verified using the verifiable credentials capabilities. The Spark NOC receives the verification result and authorises access to the site, confirming the outcome back over the phone to the contractor. Contractor accesses the site to perform the required task. 6. Credentials Revocation/Expiry. The contractor completes the work at the site and calls the Spark NOC, 0800 103 060 +1 + 2, to advise completion of the task. Contractor leaves the site. Spark NOC initiates a credential revocation request, that updates the status of the contractor's Permit to Work credential to be invalid. A push notification is sent to the contractor's wallet to advise them that the credential has been revoked and no longer valid for use.
