Verify a Compact Semantic Credential
Verify a Compact Semantic Credential by providing the encoded payload and specifying verification options.
You can provide a valid Compact Semantic Credential as either an encoded string or a QR code in a PDF document or an image file.
Standard checks performed on all verification requests:
- Conformance of the string and encoded data. All string representations of Compact Credentials must be prefixed with
CSC/1
. - Decoded payload CWT structure and attributes can be validated.
- Remote context schema can be resolved and validate claims can be dereferenced.
- Issuer DID can be used to resolve its
did.json
document. - Public key from issuer's
did.json
document validates the proof signature, confirming the credential has not been tampered with.
Optional parameter checks:
- Credential was issued by a trusted issuer.
- Current time is after the beginning of the credential validity period.
- Current time is not after the end of the credential validity period.
- Credential has not been revoked.
