Trust Factors

Cryptographic Signature

Unique fingerprint prevents counterfeiting. Like a unique DNA that can't be faked — proves the badge is 100% real and untampered.

76EC9EF70AC3E55ADE11DCA98B0B5BCF71D97A8D08AFA3D080B8497797D02B77
This SHA-256 hash is generated from the badge's content and metadata, creating an unforgeable digital signature. Any alteration would result in a completely different fingerprint.

Verified Issuer Domain

Issuer controls a verified domain with institutional accountability. Like checking a diploma really came from the school it claims.

badgefed.org
Domain verification ensures that only the legitimate organization can issue badges from this domain, preventing impersonation attacks.

Decentralized Network Verification

Published on the Fediverse for transparent verification. Your badge exists on many computers, not just one — it can't disappear if one company shuts down.

ActivityPub Protocol
ActivityPub is a decentralized protocol ensuring your badge exists on multiple independent servers across the Fediverse, preventing single points of failure.

Open Badge Standard Compliance

Follows the global standard for interoperability. Like a universally accepted driver's license — recognized and trusted by other organizations.

Open Badge v2.0 Specification
Open Badges is a globally recognized standard maintained by 1EdTech, ensuring badges can be verified by any compliant system worldwide.

Tamper-Evident Timestamp

Cryptographically protected issuance date prevents backdating. Like a permanent marker — no one can fake when you earned this achievement.

2026-01-31 15:47:00 UTC
The timestamp is cryptographically included in the badge signature, making it impossible to alter the issuance date without invalidating the entire signature.

Recipient Identity Verification

Identity cryptographically linked to prevent theft. Your name is permanently written inside — no one else can steal and claim this badge.
