Frequently Asked Questions
What is UniTrust?
UniTrust is an Identity Trust Platform that helps organizations manage the full lifecycle of verifiable credentials and trust interactions. Its Business Wallet and Ecosystem Collaboration capabilities provide the secure foundation needed to foster trust at scale across B2C2B trust interactions.
Which edition is right for my organization?
Choose Foundation if your use cases require B2C credential issuance and you seek to join existing trust ecosystems. Choose Ecosystem if your use cases require B2C2B credential issuance, if you would like to host your own credential verification portal, or if you seek to create and lead your own ecosystem of trusted issuer and verifier partners. Choose Enterprise if you require ultimate scale and governance with the ability to manage multiple departmental or subsidiary identities (e.g., departments, business units, divisions, or faculties) under a single parental organizational identity. The Enterprise edition is currently available under an Early Access Program. contact us for more details.
Which DID method should we use?
UniTrust allows you to anchor your organizational identity to either your existing domain or a permissionless distributed ledger. While did:web is simple and straightforward to set up using your current domain, we highly recommend the ledger approach for maximum resilience. A ledger-based anchor ensures your organizational identity and credential status remain resolvable 24/7, preventing verification failures during website outages or DDoS attacks.
What is the purpose of Domain Linkage?
Domain Linkage is a bidirectional identity verification process that connects your organizational identity (DID) to your official web domain. This creates a cryptographically secure loop, proving that your organizational identity and your website belong to the exact same entity. It anchors your digital presence to a publicly verified domain and significantly bolsters the trustworthiness of your organization.
What are verifiable links?
Verifiable links enable the seamless verification of issued credentials without requiring a dedicated business or personal wallet. A user can generate a unique, secure link within their UniMe wallet and share it anywhere, such as on LinkedIn, in an email, or on a CV. When a third party clicks the link, they are taken to a verification page hosted by a Trust Anchor. UniTrust instantly validates the credential's authenticity and status, allowing anyone to verify the data securely using a standard web browser.
