Digital trust & verification infrastructure

Verified
System Link

ONE PLATFORM. EVERY VERIFICATION.

A shared infrastructure that lets authorised institutions issue trusted credentials — and lets anyone verify them instantly with an ordinary phone camera.

The problem

Documents are official. Checking them is not.

Certificates, licences, permits and medical records come from trusted institutions — then get checked by photocopy, phone call and email. Each institution invents its own method, or none at all.

VSL Verify

Scan. Check. Trust.

No dedicated app, no account. The phone's browser is the verifier.

An approved issuer registers the document in its VSL workspace.

The ecosystem

Three components. One chain of trust.

A registered account is never automatically an authorised issuer. VSL Administration decides who may issue.

Security & trust

Trust is engineered, not assumed.

Proven, standards-based techniques. No buzzwords, no blockchain claims.

#1 INTEGRITY

SHA-256 fingerprints

Any change to a registered record changes its hash.

#2 AUTHENTICITY

Ed25519 signatures

Each verification reference is signed by VSL; forgeries fail.

#3 UNGUESSABLE

Random references

Non-sequential IDs. Internal database IDs are never public.

#4 SAFE QR

Official URL only

QR codes hold a VSL link — never personal data.

#5 ABUSE CONTROL

Rate limiting

IP- and token-based limits stop scraping and brute force.

#6 ACCOUNTABILITY

Audit logs + RBAC

Every issuance, edit, revocation, approval and API call is recorded.

Potential markets

Every sector that issues documents.

Government

Licensing, ministries, regulators

Education

Universities, schools, certification bodies

Healthcare

Hospitals, medical associations, insurers

Private sector

Employers, recruiters, banks
