How verification works

Cryptographically signed. Publicly auditable.

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.

01

You paste an ID.

Each credential has a unique ID issued at signing time. The ID is the only thing needed to verify.

02

We fetch the credential.

The credential lives on Forkaia's servers but also as a downloadable signed payload. Anyone, anywhere, can pull it.

03

Signature is checked.

The signature is verified against the issuer's public key. If valid, we render the credential. If invalid, we flag it.

04

You see the proof.

Recipient, work shipped, reviewer evaluations, issuance date — all rendered with the original artifacts linked.
