Verifiable Credential

Glossary Page

A verifiable credential includes subject identification, issuing authority, credential type, asserted attributes, derivation evidence, and constraints, mirroring physical credentials. Utilizing technologies like digital signatures, verifiable credentials surpass physical ones in security and tamper resistance. Credential holders can generate and share verifiable presentations to demonstrate specific characteristics. Both can be swiftly transmitted, enhancing remote trust establishment. The specification strives to harmonize the simplicity of expressing digital credentials with privacy considerations, tackling issues related to data persistence and correlation. The term "verifiable" pertains to a credential's verifiability by a verifier, without implying the truth of claims, empowering verifiers to assess based on provided evidence.
