Verifiable Credentials

What are Verifiable Credentials?​

Verifiable Credentials(VCs) used by MyNextID conform with OpenID Connect (OIDC) specifications.

Verifiable Credentials are a standardized way to issue, present, and verify digital credentials in a secure and interoperable manner. They allow individuals to obtain credentials from trusted issuers (e.g., universities, governments) and present them to verifiers (e.g., employers, service providers) without relying on a central authority. This framework ensures the integrity, authenticity, and privacy of the credentials, leveraging cryptographic techniques and decentralized identifiers (DIDs) to enhance user control and security in digital identity management.

How can I verify VCs?​

MyNextID platform is designed to facilitate the testing and deployment of Verifiable Credentials. It provides robust APIs that allow developers and organizations to verify digital credentials seamlessly. The platform supports a wide range of use cases, from identity verification to credential issuance, enabling entities to integrate Verification of VCs into their systems with ease.
