Cachet

How it works

From signature to scan

A deeper look at the issuance and verification lifecycle.

  1. 1

    Institution onboards

    Sign up, claim your subdomain, and Cachet provisions your did:web identity and Ed25519 keypair.

  2. 2

    Design a template

    Define the credential schema and visual layout once; reuse across cohorts.

  3. 3

    Issue credentials

    Issue individually or bulk-import a CSV. Each credential is signed and gets a unique verify URL + QR.

  4. 4

    Recipient shares

    Recipients receive a PDF and a shareable link. The QR is printed on the physical certificate.

  5. 5

    Anyone verifies

    A verifier scans the QR; the signature is checked against your public key. Valid, revoked, or expired — instantly.
