Education

Verifiable credentials in education allow students to share their data with verifying parties — such as places of employment or universities — without the need to check in with the original source of that information, namely the school or college where they did their coursework or received their diploma.

• Immediate proof of degrees and accreditation

• Prove specific skills with microcredentials

• Eliminate redundant paperwork and manual processes

Indicio adds functionality to your student ID

By using verifiable credentials and Open Badges 3.0, Indicio can issue credentials to students’ mobile devices that allow them to cryptographically prove identity for both physical and digital access management and store important data like transcripts and diplomas on their mobile devices. As a result, students no longer need to manually contact and verify information with their issuing universities. Most implementations are completed within 12 to 48 hours.

For Educational Institutions

• Increase efficiency, eliminate the need for password resets, and prevent students from being locked out due to user error.

• Reduce the need to manually look up student grades when other universities or businesses need to verify them.

• Increase security with phishing-proof verifiable credentials; unlike passwords or physical keys, these credentials cannot be lost, stolen, or copied.

• Provide a more convenient and automated information sharing process for faculty and students.

For Students

• Simplify sharing and authentication with locally stored student records and eliminate waiting time.

• Quickly access school resources and buildings with the tap of a QR code instead of requiring physical keys, passwords, or student ID cards.

• Easily store student information in one place, removing the need to track down physical documents and paperwork.

• Diplomas and student information remain verifiable even if the educational institution experiences technical outages or becomes unreachable.

• Student awards and certificates Quickly issue and securely store any awards a student receives from the school.

• Student access management Easily issue or revoke access to buildings or digital assets.

• Diplomas Issue verifiable certificates of completion that can be quickly shared with prospective employers, removing the need to contact the school.

• School issued permits Quickly issue and check parking permits, bike permits, and residential permits etc.

• Reduce liability Unlike passwords or keys these credentials can’t be misplaced, stolen, or copied, so you can be more confident that only students have access to school areas.

• Reduce student stress You can store all the classes a student has completed on a credential, streamlining the process for knowing which classes they are eligible to take next.

• Faster data sharing All the data a student accumulates through the education process can be stored on one credential, removing the need to look back through paper records.
