This diagram illustrates the participation of three parties in a verifiable credentials interaction. This solution automates verification of identity credentials and claims.

The verifier is an organization that requests proof and, upon receipt, verifies that the claims in the credentials satisfy requirements.

The user receives and approves the request for credentials obtained from the issuer and presents it to the verifier. The credential claims are cryptographically signed with the user’s private key.

The issuer is an organization that attests to claims and grants digitally signed credentials to the user.

An ecosystem of organizations, workplaces, governments, schools, institutions, and individuals function as trusted issuers and verifiers for verifiable credentials, with users granting permission and managing access through their digital wallet.
