Physical documents, with their holograms and RFIDs, are in theory less accessible and can become insecure when exposed to digital infrastructure. The implications to an overcomplicated internet is prone to an epidemic of fraud in general, from ID theft to counterfeits. In the classic Trust Triangle (Issuer – Person – Verifier) concept, the integrity of the information can be verified but the truthfulness of it cannot. Verifiable credentials are standardised, digital certificates that make it easy to share online and at the same time address the truthfulness of the information in a private and secure way. With use cases are currently being piloted – many will surface in the not-so-distant future.
