Full Title or Meme
A Verifiable Claim is one that can be Validated by a signed statement from some recognized authority as to the nature of a linkage between Attributes and a Subject.
Context
- The Context in which a validation applies should be made clear by a policy statement from the validating authorities.
- The mission of the Verifiable Claims Working Group (VCWG) is to make expressing and exchanging credentials that have been verified by a third party easier and more secure on the Web.
Problem
Solution
- A Verifiable Claims Data Model and Representations document is under development by the W3C Verifiable Claims working group on this GitHub site.
