In Blerify, a Point of Verification (POV) is a key component of the platform that allows organizations to verify digital credentials issued under standards such as W3C Verifi
Credential Verification:
POVs allow the verification of the authenticity of digital credentials, ensuring they were issued by a trusted issuer and have not been tampered with.
Interoperability:
POVs are designed to be compatible with international standards like W3C Verifiable Credentials and ISO 18013-5, ensuring they can work across different ecosystems and with various types of credentials.
Flexible Configuration:
Blerify offers a highly configurable solution for POVs, allowing organizations to define:
Types of credentials that can be verified.
Trusted issuers whose credentials will be accepted.
Encryption methods and signature formats.
Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to protect user privacy.
Easy Integration:
Blerify provides SDK libraries and API interfaces to integrate POVs into existing web or mobile applications. This makes it easy to implement credential verification in different environments.
User Privacy:
POVs are designed to respect user privacy, allowing selective disclosure of information. This means the user only shares the information necessary for verification, rather than revealing all the data in the credential.
Verification Request:
When a user presents a digital credential (e.g., a mobile driver's license), the POV requests verification of the credential.
Credential Validation:
The POV verifies:
The cryptographic signature of the credential to ensure it has not been altered.
The legitimacy of the issuer (i.e., whether the credential was issued by a trusted entity).
The status of the credential (whether it has been revoked or not).
Verification Response:
The POV returns a result indicating whether the credential is valid or not, along with any additional information the organization may need.
