Overview
Pioneering Verifiable Credential Validation with Inji Verify
Inji Verify serves as a robust validation tool designed to authenticate verifiable credentials embedded in QR codes through a user-friendly web portal interface. The process involves matching the data stored within the QR code, decoding it using the pixelpass library, and subsequently validating the verifiable credential. Verifiable Credentials represent a digital and cryptographically secured version of both paper and digital credentials, ensuring a secure and trustworthy method of verification across various industries and scenarios.
Key Components of Verifiable Credentials:
Credential Metadata: Contains essential properties such as the credential identifier, expiry date, and issuer information, cryptographically signed by the issuer.
Claims: Tamper-proof set of claims made about the credential subject, such as employee number and job title.
Proofs: Cryptographic methods enable verification of the data source and ensure data integrity.
Importance of Interoperability: Interoperability plays a crucial role in the realm of Verifiable Credentials, facilitating seamless sharing and verification across different systems and organizations. Standardized formats ensure efficiency, security, and reliability in the verification process, akin to the universal acceptance of a passport standard among countries.
Usage of Inji Verify: Inji Verify offers a range of features tailored to meet the verification needs of users and relying parties:
