Verifier
A Verifier is the party that requests and validates a Verifiable Credential to make a decision, such as granting access to a financial service. The verifier checks the cryptographic signature of the credential against the issuer's public key and verifies that the credential has not been revoked.
In a decentralized environment, the verifier interacts directly with the subject's wallet to receive the proof, ensuring the process is efficient and private. Verifiers do not need to store large amounts of user data; they only need to verify the specific claim required for their service.
This minimizes the risk of data breaches and improves regulatory compliance.
