Ways to Use vLEIs

Here are some ways to use vLEI credentials:

• You can present them to remote parties to prove things about your organization or yourself. (In Origin's Hold view, select Present.)

• You can act as a verifier, confirming the validity of and the data within the vLEIs of others.

• In an interaction, you can use them to prove that your organization and/or people with specific roles in your organization are participating.

• You can use them in conjunction with ordinary digital signatures on files, email attachments, social media posts, and similar things.

• You can use them to sign XBRL for regulatory compliance purposes. See the XBRL signing application on Origin.

• You can associate them with your SPF/DKIM/DMARC solution to increase the security of your corporate email solution.

• You can create and issue new credential types, chain them to vLEIs, and verify them. For example, you could build solutions on top of:

  • face-to-face credentials, documenting a personal, non-remote interaction you've had with another human so they can prove they are not an AI

  • proof-of-control credentials, showing that a person or org controls an email address, a social media handle, a phone number, DNS records, or similar resources

  • generalized cooperative delegation credentials, authorizing a person or org to act in your behalf under carefully described constraints

  • award credentials, conferring official recognition of various kinds on someone else

Today, many of these operations require custom code to be written, because shrink-wrapped products with the right features are still being developed. We expect the ecosystem to mature rapidly in coming months. Ask your QVI or another service provider for help.
