Credential

The Problem

Traditional identity verification is inefficient, costly, and fragmented, leading to:

Repeated Verification Loops - Individuals must reverify their identity every time they start a new job, access training, or prove qualifications.

High Compliance & Operational Costs - Businesses waste resources on manual verification processes that slow down onboarding and introduce administrative burdens.

Privacy & Security Risks - Organisations store sensitive personal data, increasing exposure to regulatory non-compliance and cyber threats.

Current Challenges

Time-consuming: Repetitive identity checks slow down hiring, onboarding, and compliance.

Expensive: Unnecessary verification costs accumulate across industries.

Privacy Risks: Employees have no control over how their credentials are used.

The Solution - How Credifice Fixes This

Credentialing, Not Just Verification

Individuals receive a portable, verifiable digital credential after their identity is verified.

Reuse credentials across multiple organisations — no need for repeated checks.

 

Instant, Privacy-First Verification

Businesses can instantly verify credentials without storing personal data.

Individuals remain in control of their credentials, deciding when and where to share them.

 

Automated Compliance & Revocation

Built-in compliance frameworks ensure adherence to GDPR, eIDAS 2.0, and industry standards.

Real-time revocation allows issuers to revoke credentials securely without exposing unnecessary data.

 

Credifice eliminates redundant identity checks, reduces costs, and enhances security—all while giving individuals control over their own credentials.

Credential Issuers (e.g., Employers, Universities, Training Bodies)

Issue tamper-proof, verifiable credentials instantly.

Eliminate fake qualifications by ensuring real-time verification.

 

Verifiers (e.g., Employers, Banks, Regulators)

Instantly validate credentials without requiring direct access to sensitive personal data.

Automate verification workflows → No more back-and-forth document submissions.

Understanding the Terminology

Verifiable Credentials (VCs) → A digitally signed (tamperproof) credential that can be instantly verified without relying on central databases.

Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) → A new standard for digital identities, enabling individuals or entities to control their own identifiers without reliance on a centralised authority.

Revocation in Credentialing → If a credential (e.g., a licence or certification) is no longer valid, it can be revoked in real-time, preventing misuse without exposing unnecessary data.

Interoperability → Credifice credentials follow global identity standards, meaning they work across different platforms and industries (e.g., HR systems, compliance frameworks).

How It Works

Step 1: Issuer & Verifier Setup

Before an organisation can issue or verify credentials, a quick setup is needed within Credifice:

  • Issuers: Create and customise credentials, defining attributes, branding (colours & logos), and security settings.
  • Seamless Integration: Issuers can connect their internal systems (e.g., HR, student records) to automatically pull credential data.
  • Verifiers: Define a trust framework to specify which issuers they recognise as valid.

Once set up, organisations can issue and verify credentials instantly.

 

Step 2: Credential Issuance

When an organisation issues a digital credential (e.g., an employee ID, university degree), the process ensures security and authenticity:

  • The credential is digitally signed, guaranteeing it cannot be altered or forged.
  • The holder stores it securely in a digital wallet, maintaining full control.

Because credentials are cryptographically secured, only the rightful holder can prove ownership.

 

Step 3: Credential Chaining - A Network of Trust

Unlike basic identity verification services, Credifice enables credential chaining, allowing credentials to build on each other:

  • Primary Identity Credential: Issued by a government or trusted identity provider.
  • Secondary Credentials: Employers, universities, and other institutions issue credentials (e.g., degrees, employment records) linked to the individual’s verified identity.

This means when verifying a secondary credential (e.g., a qualification), it can be checked against the original identity credential—creating a trusted chain of proof.

 

Step 4: Instant Verification

When verification is required (e.g., for hiring, compliance, or onboarding), the individual shares their credential securely with the verifier.

  • The verifier checks its authenticity (ensuring it hasn’t been tampered with).
  • The verifier confirms its trustworthiness (ensuring it was issued by a recognised source).
  • Because verification is digital, there are no manual checks, making it fast and fraud-resistant.

 

Step 5: Real-Time Updates & Revocation

Credentials always reflect their latest status:

  • If a credential is revoked or expires, it is automatically updated.
  • Verifiers always check the latest status, ensuring compliance and trust.
