Establishing trust with verifiable creds and zero trust
summary
Verifiable credentials follow the W3C tamper‑evident spec, use a distributed ledger for signature checks (allowing offline verification), and are already in production for Aruba’s digital travel credential and North Dakota projects; they cut API integration and attack surface. Combining those credentials with FIDO orchestration delivered as a SaaS ties authentication to portable claims, enabling the zero trust trio—verify explicitly, least privilege, assume compromise—and addresses phishing (3–6% click rate) and remote work (≈26% fully remote) with lower deployment cost.
