We’re introducing a new layer of verification — a user-friendly, easily recognizable badge. Additionally, independent organizations can verify accounts directly through our Trusted Verifiers feature.

What are Open Badges? - Instructure Community
Parchment Digital Badges allows users to issue and manage a standardized type of digital badges called Open Badges. A digital badge is a visual symbol of accomplishment. It can be awarded for any definable achievement and earned in many learning environments, games or the workplace. An Open Badge is a specialized type of…

Verifiable credentials
Verifiable credentials (VCs) are digital credentials which follow the relevant World Wide Web Consortium open standards. They can represent information found in physical credentials, such as a passport or license, as well as new things that have no physical equivalent, such as ownership of a bank account. They have numerous advantages over physical credentials, most notably that they're digitally signed, which makes them tamper-resistant and instantaneously verifiable.
Decentralized Identity Verification using Zero-Knowledge Proofs: A Privacy-Preserving Authentication Framework
In the contemporary online interaction, digital iden- tity is central, but most systems follow a centralized provider like Google or Facebook. Although convenient, these models pose ma- jor risks to data breach, surveillance, and single point of failure. The proposed paper proposes a privacy-sensitive decentralized identity verification system that uses Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs) to allow users to make it through claims (e.g., age, citizen- ship, or enrollment) without any personal data being provided, thereby solving the challenges outlined in the paper. Our architecture integrates verifiable credentials, zero-knowledge-SNARKs and an issuer trust registry that is maintained on blockchain smart contracts to guarantee trustless verification and eliminate dependence on centralized authorities. Its system gives its users full control over credentials, allows reuse across applications, and does not expose data.A proof-of-concept implementation has shown the approach to be feasible with Circom and SnarkJS to generate proof, Solidity smart contracts to verify them, and a user interface implemented in React. Results of the evaluations showed that determination of the verification latency is low, the overhead to generate proofs is moderate, and no privacy leakage occurs. It can be used in potential applications such as education, e-governance, healthcare, finance, and online voting.
