Select a credential from the wallet to load it into the verifier:
Published May 2025 as a W3C Recommendation. Defines the data model for cryptographically verifiable claims. Free to implement by anyone, anywhere. Ratified by the global standards body — not self-certified.
Developed by 1EdTech. Built on top of W3C VCs. The global standard for digital achievement badges and credentials. Cryptographically signed so badges survive platform changes — including ransomware attacks.
The ratified W3C VC 2.0 cryptosuite. Uses Ed25519 public-key cryptography with JSON Canonicalization Scheme (JCS). The institution signs with a private key; anyone verifies with the public key. A tampered credential produces an invalid signature — immediately detectable.
This demo runs entirely on open, freely implementable standards. No proprietary licence. No annual fee. No single company controlling the standard.
A credential issued here can be verified by any system that implements W3C VC 2.0 — which includes implementations across the EU (Europass), Singapore (MySkillsFuture), MIT (Digital Credentials Consortium), and 1EdTech members worldwide.
Crucially: because the signature is cryptographic, verification does not require contacting the issuing institution. The institution's server could go offline — or be ransomed — and credentials issued before the incident remain fully verifiable.
This is the architecture Australia could adopt for a National Skills Passport without building or licensing proprietary infrastructure.
The employer portal issues an OID4VP presentation request with a fresh nonce.
In a live deployment, this is what navigator.credentials.get() sends to the candidate's wallet.
