Verifiable
Credentials.
Issue tamper-proof digital diplomas, professional licenses, and certifications that anyone can verify instantly. Every credential is backed by cryptographic proof recorded in an immutable transparency log.
The Problem with Paper Credentials
Traditional credentials — diplomas, transcripts, professional licenses — are easy to forge, slow to verify, and expensive to maintain. Employers spend days calling institutions to confirm degrees. Professionals carry paper certificates that can be lost or damaged. Institutions field thousands of verification requests manually every year.
40%
of resumes contain inaccuracies
Background check firms report that a significant portion of job applicants misrepresent their qualifications, from inflated titles to fabricated degrees.
2-4 weeks
average verification time
Manual credential verification through phone calls and postal mail delays hiring, licensing, and enrollment decisions by weeks.
$600B+
global credential fraud cost
Fake degrees, forged licenses, and fraudulent certifications cost the global economy hundreds of billions annually in damages and lost productivity.
What You Can Verify
Truthlocks supports any document or credential that an institution needs to issue and a third party needs to verify. Here are the most common use cases.
Academic Diplomas
Universities and colleges issue cryptographically signed digital diplomas. Alumni carry a verifiable proof that any employer or institution can check instantly — no phone calls to the registrar required.
Transcripts & Academic Records
Secure delivery of grade transcripts, course completions, and academic standings. Graduate schools and employers verify records in seconds instead of waiting for sealed envelopes.
Professional Licenses
Medical boards, bar associations, and engineering councils issue verifiable licenses. Regulators and employers confirm that a practitioner's credentials are current and valid.
Continuing Education
Training providers and certification bodies issue proof of completed courses, CPE credits, and skill assessments. Professionals maintain a verifiable record of lifelong learning.
Institutional Accreditation
Accrediting bodies issue verifiable attestations of institutional quality. Students and regulators confirm that a school or program meets recognized standards.
Workforce Certifications
Industry bodies issue verifiable trade certifications — from IT security credentials to construction safety qualifications. Employers verify worker qualifications before assignments.
How It Works
The entire lifecycle of a credential — from issuance to verification — is handled through the Truthlocks platform and recorded in the transparency log.
Step 01
Institution Issues
A university, licensing board, or certification body creates a digital attestation through the Truthlocks Console or API. The attestation contains the credential details — degree name, recipient, date, and any custom fields.
Step 02
Cryptographically Signed
The attestation is signed with the institution's private key (Ed25519) and recorded in the Truthlocks Transparency Log. This creates an immutable, timestamped record that the credential was issued.
Step 03
Recipient Holds Proof
The credential holder receives a proof bundle — a compact cryptographic proof that they can store, share, or present to any verifier. No app download required; it works via URL or QR code.
Step 04
Anyone Can Verify
An employer, school, or regulator checks the credential by scanning the QR code or entering the attestation ID at verify.truthlocks.com. The platform confirms authenticity, issuer identity, and current status in seconds.
Built for
Institutions.
Truthlocks provides the tools institutions need to modernize their credentialing process without disrupting existing workflows.
Privacy-Preserving Verification
Credential holders can share a verification link that confirms their credential is valid without exposing unnecessary personal details. Verifiers see only what the holder chooses to share.
Offline-Ready Proof Bundles
Generate self-contained proof bundles that can be verified via QR code even in environments with limited connectivity. The cryptographic proof is embedded in the bundle itself.
Revocation & Status Updates
If a credential needs to be revoked (e.g., license suspension, degree rescinded), the issuer updates the status through the platform. All future verification checks reflect the current status.
Batch Issuance
Issue thousands of credentials at once — perfect for graduation ceremonies, annual license renewals, or certification cohorts. Upload a CSV or use the API for automated bulk minting.
Custom Branding
Verification pages display your institution's logo and branding. Recipients see a professional, branded experience when they share their credentials with third parties.
