Verifiable Credentials
A verifiable credential is a tamper-evident credential that has authorship that can be cryptographically verified. Verifiable credentials can be used to build verifiable presentations, which can also be cryptographically verified. The claims in a credential can be about different subjects.
Verifiable means that the integrity (no alteration) of a Verifiable Credential, as well as the authorship of a Verifiable Credential, can easily be checked using a cryptographic-based standard procedure.
