Verification Model

Overview

The Verification Model in Ezrah Creds provides a structured approach for verifying credentials using Out-of-Band (OOB) verification. Organizations can create models that define the rules for credential validation, ensuring consistency and security in authentication processes.

Creating a Verification Model

To create a Verification Model, follow these steps:

1. Access the Verification Model Section

   • Navigate to the Verification Model section within the Ezrah Creds platform.
   • Click on the “Create New Model” button.

2. Define Model Parameters

   • Enter a descriptive name for the model.
   • Select the credential types that will be verified against this model.
   • Configure validation rules, such as expiration checks, required attributes, and issuer verification.

3. Set Verification Criteria

   • Specify mandatory and optional attributes required for validation.
   • Define conditions for successful verification (e.g., credential issuance date, status, and issuer).

4. Save and Activate Model

   • Review the model configurations.
   • Click “Save” to store the model.
   • Activate the model to enable verification requests.

Verifying a Credential Using OOB

Out-of-Band (OOB) verification allows external parties to verify credentials through a secure, controlled process.

1. Generate a Verification Request

   • Select the verification model to be used.
   • Provide the recipient’s details (if applicable).
   • Generate an OOB request link or QR code.

2. Recipient Submits Credentials

   • The recipient receives the OOB request.
   • They scan the QR code or open the link via their Ezrah Wallet.
   • They select and submit the relevant credential for verification.

3. Automated Validation

   • The submitted credential is checked against the Verification Model rules.
   • The system verifies issuer details, credential integrity, and expiration.
   • If all conditions are met, the credential is marked as verified.

4. View Verification Results

   • The verification status (Success/Failure) is displayed.
   • Organizations can view detailed logs of the verification process.
   • If verification fails, the system provides insights into failure reasons (e.g., expired credential, incorrect attributes).

Managing Verification Models

Organizations can manage existing Verification Models within the Ezrah Creds platform:

• Edit Models: Modify validation criteria, add/remove credential types.
• Deactivate Models: Temporarily disable a model without deletion.
• Delete Models: Remove outdated or unused models from the system.
• View Logs: Monitor past verification attempts and results.
