Every Forkaia credential is signed with Forkaia's private key the moment it's issued. The signature lives inside the credential itself. Verification = checking that signature against Forkaia's public key. If the credential has been tampered with — even one character — the signature breaks.
Each credential has a unique ID issued at signing time. The ID is the only thing needed to verify.
The credential lives on Forkaia's servers but also as a downloadable signed payload. Anyone, anywhere, can pull it.
The signature is verified against the issuer's public key. If valid, we render the credential. If invalid, we flag it.
Recipient, work shipped, reviewer evaluations, issuance date — all rendered with the original artifacts linked.
Forkaia offers a free public API for bulk credential verification. Pipe candidate IDs in, get verified status back. No rate limits for institutional partners. Email support@forkaia.com to request access.
