VNF defines a trust framework as: a community-enforced set of rules, standards, and guidelines that define how trust is established, maintained, and verified among participants in the network; ensures that all entities (such as individuals, organizations, and services) adhere to common protocols for issuing, presenting, and verifying credentials. In the context of digital credentials, trust frameworks define how identity, data, and verification processes are governed so that participants can rely on the authenticity of shared information, even if they use different technologies or platforms… even at scale and distant geographies. This shared understanding is essential for scaling credentialing ecosystems where trust must travel with the credential data. A new paper, “Defining Trust Frameworks for Learner and Worker Mobility,” brings together public, private, and nonprofit leaders to align on core principles and design considerations.
