Verification Failure

Definition

Verification failure occurs when a system or process is unable to confirm the authenticity, integrity, or validity of data, a transaction, or a user’s identity. In blockchain contexts, this could mean a transaction not adhering to protocol rules, an invalid digital signature, or a Know Your Customer (KYC) check not passing. Such failures can halt operations or indicate potential security issues. It signals a discrepancy or an absence of required proof.
