Verifying an Identity

Using the User Interface

The "Verify Identity" screen allows users to verify a digital badge, typically a JOSE (JSON Object Signing and Encryption) enveloped badge. This screen is designed for quick and secure verification.

1. Access the Screen: Navigate to the "Verify Identity" page.

   

2. Provide the Badge:

   • Option A (File Upload): Click or drag and drop a JSON file (max 3MB) containing the JOSE enveloped badge into the "Details" area.
   • Option B (Text Input): Paste the JOSE enveloped badge string directly into the "Badge" text field.

   Note

   We support both the JOSE enveloped badge or the full JSON badge content that you can obtain from the Agentic Services. The JOSE enveloped badge is a compact representation of the badge, while the full JSON badge contains all the details in a structured format.

3. Initiate Verification: Click the "Verify" button.

4. View Results: The "Verification Results" section will populate with the outcome of the badge verification.

   

Using the Python SDK

To verify an identity using the Python SDK, follow these steps:

1. Install the Python SDK: Ensure you have the Python SDK installed. Refer to the SDK section of the documentation for detailed installation instructions.

2. Use the following code snippet:

   from identityservice.sdk import IdentityServiceSdk as Sdk
   
   from dotenv import load_dotenv
   load_dotenv()
   
   identity_sdk = Sdk(
       api_key="{YOUR_ORGANIZATION_API_KEY}"
   )
   
   try:
       print(
           "Got badge: ",
           identity_sdk.verify_badge(
               "{JOSE_ENVELOPED_BADGE}"
           ),
       )
   except Exception as e:
       print("Error verifying badge: ", e)
   

   Note

   Replace {YOUR_ORGANIZATION_API_KEY} with your actual Organization API Key and {JOSE_ENVELOPED_BADGE} with the JOSE enveloped badge you want to verify.
