Verifiable Credentials: Trust and Truth in an AI-enabled Talent Acquisition Market
Issuer permissions are the mechanism that Velocity Network introduces to enable relying parties (and wallets) to determine if an issuer is an authoritative source for a particular credential. After requesting the ability to issue on the Network, the request is reviewed by Velocity Network to ensure that the issuing service parameters are within the remit of the organization’s business activities.
