The response includes a true/false flag which indicates the outcome of the verification. Along with this verified flag, the associated payload and metadata from the certificate is returned.

The data handled during the verification is not stored at any stage on the MATTR platform. The information is held temporarily in memory to allow the processing of the request and discarded once presented back in the response.
