Badge Trust Factors

Here are the verifiable trust factors that prove this badge's authenticity and integrity:

Cryptographic Signature

Unique cryptographic fingerprint prevents counterfeiting.
Like a unique DNA that can't be faked - so you know this badge is 100% real and hasn't been tampered with.

This SHA-256 hash is generated from the badge's content and metadata, creating an unforgeable digital signature. Any alteration to the badge would result in a completely different fingerprint, making it virtually impossible to counterfeit while ensuring complete data integrity and authenticity verification.

Verified Issuer Domain

Issuer controls verified domain with institutional accountability.
Like checking that a diploma really came from the school it claims - so you know it's not from a fake organization.

Domain verification ensures that only the legitimate organization can issue badges from this domain. The issuer has been registered and issuing badges since their domain registration, providing institutional accountability and preventing impersonation attacks. This establishes organizational trust and credibility.

Tamper-Evident Timestamp

Cryptographically protected issuance date prevents backdating.
Like a permanent marker that can't be erased or changed - so no one can fake when you earned this achievement.

2025-06-06 18:06:29 UTC
The timestamp is cryptographically included in the badge signature, making it impossible to alter the issuance date or backdate the badge without completely invalidating the entire signature. This prevents fraudulent claims about when achievements were earned and ensures chronological integrity.

Recipient Identity Verification

Identity cryptographically linked to prevent theft.
Like your name being permanently written inside - so no one else can steal your badge and pretend they earned it.
