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.
