Verifiable Credentials

Verifiable Credentials are digital certificates that securely and privately prove specific information about an individual, organization, or skill. Think of them as secure, tamper-proof digital badges or diplomas that can be shared online, confirming credentials like a degree, certification, or membership. They rely on cryptography to ensure the information is accurate and hasn't been altered. This allows trusted parties to verify someone's claims quickly and confidently without needing to contact the issuer directly or reveal unnecessary personal details, enhancing privacy and security in digital interactions.
