Verifiable Claims

Definition

Verifiable Claims are digital assertions about an entity, attribute, or event that can be cryptographically proven to be true by a third party without relying on a centralized authority. These claims are typically issued by a trusted entity and stored by the individual, who can then present them selectively for verification. This mechanism supports self-sovereign identity and privacy-preserving data exchange. It allows for the validation of information while minimizing the disclosure of personal data. Verifiable claims are a foundational element for secure digital identity systems on blockchain.
