Badge Trust Factors

Here are the verifiable trust factors that prove this badge's authenticity and integrity:

Cryptographic Signature

Unique cryptographic fingerprint prevents counterfeiting.
Like a unique DNA that can't be faked - so you know this badge is 100% real and hasn't been tampered with.

34B815A3B4DDD674B33A72DE00872A81D394122A6ABFFF6EC80FDE28C6B9D54A
This SHA-256 hash is generated from the badge's content and metadata, creating an unforgeable digital signature. Any alteration to the badge would result in a completely different fingerprint, making it virtually impossible to counterfeit while ensuring complete data integrity and authenticity verification.

Verified Issuer Domain

Issuer controls verified domain with institutional accountability.
Like checking that a diploma really came from the school it claims - so you know it's not from a fake organization.

badgefed.org
Domain verification ensures that only the legitimate organization can issue badges from this domain. The issuer has been registered and issuing badges since their domain registration, providing institutional accountability and preventing impersonation attacks. This establishes organizational trust and credibility.

Decentralized Network Verification

Published on decentralized Fediverse for transparent verification.
Your badge exists on many computers, not just one - so it can't disappear if one company goes out of business.

ActivityPub Protocol
ActivityPub is a decentralized social networking protocol that ensures your badge exists on multiple independent servers across the Fediverse, providing transparent and public verification. This prevents single points of failure, censorship, and ensures the badge remains accessible and verifiable even if one server goes offline.

Open Badge Standard Compliance

Follows global standard for interoperability and verification.
Like having a universally accepted driver's license that works everywhere - so other organizations will recognize and trust your badge.

Open Badge v3.0 Specification
Open Badges is a globally recognized industry standard maintained by 1EdTech that ensures badges can be verified by any compliant system worldwide. This provides universal recognition, portability across platforms, and independent verification by third-party tools, making your badge internationally trusted and transferable.

Tamper-Evident Timestamp

Cryptographically protected issuance date prevents backdating.
Like a permanent marker that can't be erased or changed - so no one can fake when you earned this achievement.

2026-01-18 18:25:23 UTC
The timestamp is cryptographically included in the badge signature, making it impossible to alter the issuance date or backdate the badge without completely invalidating the entire signature. This prevents fraudulent claims about when achievements were earned and ensures chronological integrity.

Recipient Identity Verification

Identity cryptographically linked to prevent theft.
Like your name being permanently written inside - so no one else can steal your badge and pretend they earned it.

Damian Fajfer
The recipient's identity is verified through their authenticated account credentials and cryptographically linked to the badge signature, ensuring only the rightful owner can legitimately present this badge. This prevents badge theft, impersonation, and unauthorized use by other parties.

All trust factors have been verified and are cryptographically secured.
