Issued by you. Verified everywhere.

A verifiable credential is a cryptographically signed statement made by an issuer about a subject: a passport authority asserting a nationality, a university asserting a degree, an employer asserting a role. The signature binds the claims to the issuer's key and prevents tampering.

The holder stores the credential in a wallet (the EU Digital Identity Wallet, or another SD-JWT-VC compatible wallet) and presents only the attributes the verifier needs. Selective disclosure is enabled by the issuer (who structures the credential for per-attribute disclosure at issuance) and exercised by the holder via their wallet, so the verifier only ever receives the attributes the user chose to share.

Partisia ships an issuance API for any organisation that wants to become a verified issuer, and verification primitives that align with the EU Architecture and Reference Framework (ARF).
