The verification flow

How verifiable credentials work

The issuer confirms a fact once. The holder controls it. A verifier checks the proof when it is needed.

01 / Issuer

Create the credential

A university, employer or service provider signs a claim about a person.

02 / Holder

Store it securely

The person keeps the credential in a mobile or web identity wallet.

03 / Verifier

Request a proof

Your system asks for the exact evidence needed for a decision.

04 / Privacy

Check without copying

Zero-knowledge proofs can confirm age, status or membership without revealing extra detail.

Designed for real users

A wallet people can understand

Identity wallets should make sharing a considered action, not a confusing technical task. We design the mobile and web experience around clear requests, visible consent and practical recovery.

Academic credentials

Healthcare identity

Supplier assurance

Privacy by design

The system should know less.

We shape data flows around purpose, consent and retention. Your team gets the proof it needs without building a central store of everyone's identity.

Minimal disclosure

Ask for a membership fact instead of a full profile. Request an age threshold instead of a date of birth.

Zero-knowledge proofs

Confirm a condition while keeping the underlying personal detail private.

Consent management

Show who requested information, what was shared and when permission can be withdrawn.

No central identity store

Keep sensitive claims distributed and give your governance team clear retention decisions.

Integration planning

Connect identity to the systems you already use

A good identity project starts with the current process. We map the people, permissions and systems before choosing the technical route.

Verification APIs

Add proof checks to onboarding, portals and internal tools.

Existing providers

Work alongside your current identity and access services.

Gradual rollout

Start with one credential and extend once the process is proven.

UK GDPR planning

Document purpose, access, retention and accountability early.
