A shared infrastructure that lets authorised institutions issue trusted credentials — and lets anyone verify them instantly with an ordinary phone camera.
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.
No dedicated app, no account. The phone's browser is the verifier.
An approved issuer registers the document in its VSL workspace.
A unique, unguessable reference and QR code are generated.
The camera opens the official VSL verification page.
Checked against authorised issuer records.
A registered account is never automatically an authorised issuer. VSL Administration decides who may issue.
Reviews applications, verifies institutional identity, approves, suspends and monitors.
Each approved institution works in its own isolated workspace.
Anyone can scan. Only the minimum necessary information is shown.
VSL CENTRAL INFRASTRUCTUREInstitution registry · Issuer authorisation · Credential registry · Verification engine · Audit logREGISTERED ≠ AUTHORISEDProven, standards-based techniques. No buzzwords, no blockchain claims.
Any change to a registered record changes its hash.
Each verification reference is signed by VSL; forgeries fail.
Non-sequential IDs. Internal database IDs are never public.
QR codes hold a VSL link — never personal data.
IP- and token-based limits stop scraping and brute force.
Every issuance, edit, revocation, approval and API call is recorded.
Licensing, ministries, regulators
Universities, schools, certification bodies
Hospitals, medical associations, insurers
Employers, recruiters, banks
First milestone: a working institutional onboarding and approval system.
