Cross-Border Transactions: Simplifying Global Interactions

Problem: Cross-border transactions often require individuals to share personal information and identity credentials, which can be cumbersome, slow, and prone to security risks.

Why Current Systems Fail:

  • Verifying identity and credentials across borders is slow and costly.
  • Centralized systems expose personal data to security risks and create inefficiencies.

Solution: Verifiable Credentials for Cross-Border Identity Verification​

Verifiable Credentials enable seamless, secure identity verification across borders, facilitating global business interactions.

How It Works​

  1. Issuance: A trusted issuer (e.g., a government or organization) issues a VC confirming a person’s identity.
  2. Presentation: The VC is shared with a foreign verifier (e.g., a bank or employer) to confirm the user’s identity.
  3. Verification: The foreign entity verifies the VC without needing to contact the issuer directly.

Benefits​

  • Efficiency: Reduces delays by verifying credentials in real-time.
  • Security: Protects sensitive data from unauthorized access.
  • Global Trust: Verifiers can trust that the credentials are legitimate, regardless of jurisdiction.
