A first look at the new trust system coming to the Yivi wallet: the ways an issuer or verifier can prove who it is, why a valid signature is not the same as a party you should trust, how the EU's new ETSI TS 119 602 trust lists became our backbone, and what it will take to earn the wallet's top trust level.
We are announcing the release of the Trusted Verifier on the 24th of September!
Trusted Verifiers marks a crucial step forward in our mission to enhance the security and reliability of digital identity verification within the Yivi ecosystem. It also secures the long term sustainability of the Yivi project.
Yivi Portal is Yivi's new initiative to help with a smooth launch for the Trusted/Pretty verifier. Trusted Verifier is a pivotal part of the roadmap as mentioned in earlier blog posts and serves as part of our commitment to our users, as well as helps with transparency with our verifiers in covering the downstream costs of various verification sessions that our issuers bear.
In this blog post I will dive into what the portal exactly is, and what can you expect from the coming updates.
