Architecture & Capabilities
A complete system for verifiable achievement
Every layer of the Credinberg platform is built to uphold cryptographic integrity, organizational authority, and earner data ownership.
Open Badges 3.0 & W3C Verifiable Credentials
Eliminate proprietary vendor lock-in. Every credential issued on Credinberg adheres strictly to Open Badges 3.0 and W3C Verifiable Credentials specifications with JSON-LD cryptographic assertions.
Key Capabilities
- Full compliance with Open Badges 2.0 and 3.0 specifications
- W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model v2.0 JSON-LD schema
- Decentralized recipient identity hashing (salted cryptographic hash)
- Independent offline verification without platform dependency
Tamper-Proof Image Baking Engine
Assertions and cryptographic signatures are injected directly into PNG (iTXt chunks) and SVG vectors. The image itself is a self-contained, mathematically verifiable document that resists falsification.
Key Capabilities
- Lossless metadata injection into high-resolution PNG & SVG assets
- Embedded issuer public key links and cryptographic assertion URLs
- Tamper detection: any pixel or byte alteration invalidates cryptographic proof
- Portable download ready for global backpack import and offline storage
Automated & Bulk Issuance Engine
Scale from single certificates to tens of thousands of badges in minutes. Use high-throughput CSV bulk uploads or automated REST APIs connected to your LMS, course platform, or HR system.
Key Capabilities
- High-speed CSV batch processing with instant data validation
- Enterprise REST API and webhook triggers for automated LMS issuance
- Dynamic template variables for personalized names, dates, and scores
- Real-time delivery notifications and automated recipient access emails
Verified Issuer Domains & Role-Based Governance
Establish authoritative trust that employers respect. Every issuing organization verifies their administrative domain via DNS TXT challenges, backed by enterprise role-based access control.
Key Capabilities
- Cryptographic DNS TXT domain verification for trusted issuer identity
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): Owner, Administrator, and Issuer tiers
- Immutable audit logging of template modifications and credential grants
- Custom organization branding, logos, and verified public registry pages
Multi-Artifact Evidence & Proof Engine
Go beyond superficial titles. Attach tangible evidence of mastery directly to credentials - including code repositories, research papers, project portfolios, and video demonstrations.
Key Capabilities
- Direct integration with GitHub, GitLab, and source code repositories
- Multimedia evidence: self-hosted videos, project links, and PDF capstones
- Immutable timestamping linking evidence directly to issuance criteria
- Auditor and employer-friendly evidence drawer with instant preview
Universal Earner Passport & Social Distribution
Empower earners with sovereign ownership over their achievements. A portable digital passport where earners curate certifications, share live credentials, and publish to professional networks.
Key Capabilities
- 1-Click publishing to LinkedIn Licenses & Certifications section
- Dynamic OpenGraph social preview cards for X, Facebook, and messaging apps
- Embeddable credential verification widgets and HTML iframe snippets
- Sovereign data controls with permanent accessibility across career transitions
Sub-Second Zero-Trust Public Verifier
Instant, unforgeable verification for employers, universities, and regulatory bodies. Check cryptographic integrity, issuer validity, and revocation lists in under 2 seconds.
Key Capabilities
- Universal verification via unique Credential ID, URL, or image upload
- Embedded QR code scanning for physical certificate and badge verification
- Real-time status checking: active, expired, or cryptographically revoked
- Complete cryptographic proof breakdown displayed clearly to verifiers
Enterprise Security, GDPR, & Multi-Tenant Isolation
Engineered on modern cloud defense-in-depth principles. Row-level database security, zero cross-tenant leakage, encrypted storage, and full compliance with international privacy laws.
Key Capabilities
- Engine-enforced Row-Level Security (RLS) guaranteeing strict tenant isolation
- End-to-end data encryption in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256)
- GDPR Right to Erasure compliant earner privacy architecture
- Zero-trust credential hashing: private earner emails never exposed in plaintext
Standards Comparison
How Credinberg Compares
Why modern enterprises choose verifiable Open Badges 3.0 over legacy PDF certificates and closed proprietary platforms.
| Core Capability | Credinberg (OBv3) | Legacy PDF / Paper | Proprietary Silos |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cryptographic Tamper-Proofing | Native cryptographic signatures & image baking | None (easily edited in Acrobat) | Vendor-locked private database |
| Standard Open Badges 3.0 & W3C | 100% compliant JSON-LD schema | Not supported | Proprietary formats |
| Domain Authority Verification | DNS TXT cryptographic challenge | None (unverified self-claims) | Manual platform approval only |
| Offline & Portable Verification | Fully verifiable without vendor lock-in | Manual phone/email checks required | Fails if platform shuts down |
| 1-Click LinkedIn Integration | Direct pre-filled profile sync | Manual copy-paste of links | Partial or paywalled |
| Multi-Artifact Evidence Engine | Git repos, media, capstone PDFs | Static text only | Basic text links |
Frequently Asked Questions
Architectural & Implementation Details
How is Open Badges 3.0 different from legacy badges?
Open Badges 3.0 is built directly on the W3C Verifiable Credentials standard. Unlike legacy badges that relied on static web URLs or image tags, OBv3 credentials feature cryptographic proof structures, decentralized identifiers (DIDs), and tamper-evident signing that ensure authenticity across any global verification engine.
Can credentials be verified if Credinberg is offline?
Yes. Because Credinberg bakes the complete cryptographic assertion and digital signature directly into the badge's metadata (PNG iTXt or SVG metadata), any third-party tool conforming to Open Badges 3.0 can inspect the issuer's public key and mathematically verify the badge offline.
What types of evidence can be attached to a credential?
Credinberg's Dynamic Proof Engine supports public code repositories (GitHub, GitLab), self-hosted video demonstrations, design prototypes, research papers, capstone PDFs, and live application URLs. Evidence is permanently tied to the credential assertion.
How does domain verification protect our organization's brand?
Only authorized administrators who prove control over an organization's domain via DNS TXT records can issue verified credentials under that brand name. This prevents bad actors from impersonating your organization or issuing fraudulent credentials.
Can our existing LMS or application integrate with Credinberg?
Yes. Credinberg provides standard REST APIs and webhook listeners designed to integrate seamlessly with Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, custom web applications, and internal HR enterprise systems.
