Project Description

Trust services of digital signature and identity
Barcelona, Spain
Growth company established in 2012
Teaser of the company
Validated ID offers security trust services to the processes of electronic signature and digital identity management.
With VIDchain we’re offering a decentralized Self-Sovereign Identity service based on Blockchain for digital identity verification processes. This solution ensures GDPR compliance and improves procedures such as customer onboarding, AML, and KYC.
We want to improve digital accreditation in education by developing a cross-DLT digital credential issuing system following the Self-Sovereign Identity paradigm, which makes use of DLTs.
Portability of digital credentials can be very cumbersome nowadays. Besides the use of PDFs, there is no specific format so far that has been able to facilitate how do we prove our achievements in the digital world.
PDFs, if not signed, can be made up, and they are not machine-readable friendly.
Openbadges, a technology designed to fill this gap, has some drawbacks, like dependance on verification and hosting services that issuers have to maintain.
The use of SSI and Verifiable Credentials improves credential durability and convenience of verification thanks to the ledgers, and provides standard ways of requesting and providing those credentials.
Besides, with this project, we want to prove that interoperability is possible between issuers leveraging different blockchain technologies.
