Votre organisation
Votre propre identité d’émetteur – et votre propre porte de sortie.
Une organisation sur ORBIS n’est pas un compte sur notre plateforme. C’est un locataire doté de sa propre identité web, de sa propre clé de signature, de sa propre liste de révocation et de ses propres types d’attestations. Vos contreparties vérifient ce que vous signez contre votre clé, et c’est la raison pour laquelle vous pouvez partir sans que vos attestations cessent de fonctionner.
/t/{slug}/did.json et /t/{slug}/status/{n} – et le locataire root répond aux deux avec un véritable document DID P-256 et une liste de statut réellement signée en ES256. Demandez n’importe quel autre identifiant et vous obtenez un 404, car aucune deuxième organisation n’a jamais été provisionnée ici. La forme ci-dessous est en service et vous pouvez la vérifier ; la population est de un. Cette distinction est la différence entre cette page et une brochure.Servis par la cellule qui a produit cette page. Ouvrez-les, tous autant qu’ils sont.
LIVE/t/root/did.jsonLIVE/t/root/status/1LIVE/manifestWhat your organization becomes
six things, each with its stateNot a profile page. A tenant is a set of artefacts published under your name that anyone on earth can fetch and check without asking us for anything.
Your own web identity PARTIAL
A did:web document at /t/{your-slug}/did.json carrying your
public key. Open ours — that is the exact artefact
you would get. The route takes a tenant slug; today only root resolves.
Your own signing key LIVE
Credentials you issue are signed under your key, not a shared platform key. The private half is held in a key vault and never appears in the DID document — check the artefact above and you will find only the public half, as it should be.
Your own revocation list LIVE
A real signed status list, served as
application/statuslist+jwt. A verifier reads it to learn whether a credential
is still good without ever telling you who asked — the one edge in the
architecture that deliberately carries no identity.
Your own credential types LIVE
You define what you attest and which claims are mandatory. Our manifest names a live type with five claims and each one’s kind — the shape a wallet needs before it will accept anything from you.
Your own operators and roles PARTIAL
The back office carries operator management, role assignment, suspension and removal as real routes on a role-gated plane. They are implemented and refusing correctly; nobody can sign in to exercise them on this cell. The honest state of that door.
Your own branding PARTIAL
Organization branding has a surface in the back-office plane, behind the operator gate. We cannot show it to you from a public page, so this row claims nothing more than that the route exists and that you cannot reach it today.
What onboarding actually involves
which steps are code, which are a personSaid in the order you would experience it, with the honest label on each step. Two of the four are a human being, and we would rather you knew that now than discovered it in week three.
You apply
A public, rate-limited intake at POST /api/partners/applications that
needs no account and no credential. You get an application id back.
A person decides
Somebody reads your application and moves it forward. Nothing about the admission decision is automated, and the register marks it PARTIAL for exactly that reason.
A human, on our side, on human timescales.You sign in
/portal/signin answers and the one-time code is generated and checked for real — but on this cell it is written to the server log instead of emailed, because no notification channel is wired here.
You cannot complete this unaided today.You are provisioned
Your tenant, key, status list and types come into being. The machinery is implemented and the artefacts are real for the one tenant that exists; a second has never been created here.
The shape is proven. The population is one.What it does not require
the costs you are bracing for and will not payLIVE Nothing your counterparties must install
- No integration on the verifying side. Anyone checking what you issued fetches your DID document and your status list over ordinary HTTPS. There is no SDK they are obliged to adopt and no account they must open.
- No key from us, ever. Verification is permissionless by construction: 107 routes on this cell take no authentication at all. Count them in /openapi.json rather than believing the sentence.
- No per-check fee, because there is no check to bill. A verifier does not call us when it verifies. We could not meter it if we wanted to.
PARTIAL And nothing that traps you here
- The issuer identity is yours. It is a
did:web— a document at a web address. Credentials you signed stay verifiable against the key in it, so leaving does not retroactively invalidate what you attested. - What we have not proven. No organization has migrated off this platform, because no second organization has been provisioned on it. The exit is a property of the design and of the artefact format, and it has never been exercised. We are not going to call that LIVE.
- No lock-in through the wallet either — and no help from it yet either: no wallet is served by this cell.
Three pages, one for each question
so you are not choosing blindlyA company arriving here has three different questions and they deserve three different pages rather than one page that answers none of them well. This is the split, stated plainly:
Should we do this at all?
/for-business — the argument. What you get, what it conforms to, what it does not, and who is accountable.
02Which role are we?
/partners — the four roles, a page each, and the intake. Issuer, relying party, wallet, data partner.
What do we actually operate?
This page — the tenant you become, what onboarding costs you in effort, and where the exit is.
If you already know you want to issue, skip this page: apply and read the rest later. If you have applied and want to know where it stands, check with your application id — no account required.
The other two doors
a person, and an operatorYour account
What an ORBIS.ID account is for a person — no password, and an exit described in endpoints rather than a support article.
02The back office
What an operator runs on your tenant, and the honest state of the door they sign in through.
03The full register
Every claim with its measured state and the endpoint that settles it — including the rows that say no.
Ask this site
Try:
- IssuerSigns a claim about you. Learns nothing afterwards.
- Holder — youKeeps it. Chooses what to show, and to whom.
- VerifierChecks the signature and the status. Does not call the issuer.
The arrow that is missing is the one that matters: there is none from the verifier back to the issuer, which is why the issuer cannot see where you went.
- Read the token and the key it names.
- Resolve the issuer’s key document.
- Recompute that key’s thumbprint and compare it to the name in the token.
- Verify the signature, using the algorithm the token itself declares.
Every step is arithmetic the receiving party performs. None of it asks the issuer to vouch for the issuer.
ExampleA credential with four claims, of which two are sent:
| Claim | Value | Sent? |
|---|---|---|
| given_name | Ada | sent |
| date_of_birth | 1970-01-01 | withheld |
| over_18 | true | sent |
| address | … | withheld |
The issuer’s signature still verifies over the two that were sent, because the two that were not are committed to as salted digests rather than as values.

The words, in plain language — 11 terms, each naming the specification it glosses
- Verifiable credential
- Also searched as: verifiable credential, vc, credential, digital credential, what is a credential, certificate
- A set of claims about someone, signed by whoever issued them. The signature is what makes it verifiable: whoever receives it can prove it has not been altered and can name the key that signed it, without calling the issuer to ask. It is not a login and not a row in somebody’s database — it is a document the subject holds and presents.
- Gloss of W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model 2.0. The concrete format on this cell is SD-JWT VC (IETF). This site’s own claim: /capabilities · served by this cell: /manifest
- Issuer, holder, verifier
- Also searched as: issuer, holder, verifier, roles, who is the issuer, difference between issuer and verifier, three roles, relying party
- Three roles, separated on purpose. The ISSUER signs a claim about you. The HOLDER — you — keeps it and decides who sees it. The VERIFIER checks the signature and the status. Because the verifier does not have to call the issuer to do that check, the issuer does not learn where you used the credential. That separation is the entire point of the model; collapse it and you have rebuilt a login provider.
- Gloss of W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model 2.0, which defines these three roles. This site’s own claim: /trust-fabric
- The trust chain
- Also searched as: trust chain, how do i know, real, genuine, authentic, fake, forged, tampered, how is it verified, verification, verify, verified, signature, signed, trust anchor, check, checked, proof, prove
- Checking a credential is four steps, in order, and every one of them can be done by the party receiving it. Read the token and the key it names. Resolve the issuer’s key document. Recompute that key’s thumbprint and compare it to the name in the token. Verify the signature with the algorithm the token itself declares. Nothing in that sequence requires trusting the issuer’s word about the issuer.
- Gloss of RFC 7638 (JWK thumbprint), RFC 7515 (JWS), W3C DID Core for resolving the key. This site’s own claim: /trust-fabric · served by this cell: /.well-known/did.json · /conformance/vectors
- Selective disclosure
- Also searched as: selective disclosure, sd-jwt, sd jwt, withhold, hide claims, privacy, share less, minimum disclosure, only show my age, zero knowledge
- Handing over some claims and withholding others without invalidating the issuer’s signature. Each claim is committed to in the signed payload as a salted hash rather than as the value itself; you send only the disclosures you choose, and the receiver recomputes the digests of what you actually sent. Withholding a claim is therefore not an act of trust or of policy — the arithmetic simply does not contain it.
- Gloss of IETF SD-JWT and SD-JWT VC. This site’s own claim: /regulations
- Revocation and status
- Also searched as: revocation, revoked, status list, expired, cancel a credential, withdraw, still valid, status
- A credential can be withdrawn after it is issued, so a verifier needs a way to ask whether this one still stands. A status list answers that as one bit per credential in a single compressed, signed document: the verifier fetches the whole list and reads its own bit, so the issuer never learns which credential was being asked about. The privacy property comes from the shape of the answer, not from a promise.
- Gloss of IETF Token Status List. This site’s own claim: /trust-fabric · served by this cell: /t/root/status/1
- DID — decentralized identifier
- Also searched as: did, decentralized identifier, did:web, did web, identifier, who signed it, public key
- An identifier that resolves to a document containing public keys. The method decides how that resolution happens. did:web makes the identifier a domain name and serves the document at a well-known path, so resolving it is an ordinary HTTPS fetch anyone can perform and nobody needs a ledger, a token or a permissioned network to complete.
- Gloss of W3C DID Core 1.0; method did:web. This site’s own claim: /standards · served by this cell: /.well-known/did.json · /t/root/did.json
- How a credential reaches a wallet
- Also searched as: oid4vci, issuance, issue, get a credential, openid4vci, how do i receive, onboarding a credential
- The protocol a wallet uses to collect a credential from an issuer: the wallet discovers what the issuer offers from a well-known metadata document, obtains authorization, and requests the credential over an ordinary OAuth-shaped exchange. Being ordinary is the feature — it means an issuer does not need a bespoke wallet and a wallet does not need a bespoke issuer.
- Gloss of OpenID for Verifiable Credential Issuance (OpenID4VCI). This site’s own claim: /standards · served by this cell: /.well-known/openid-credential-issuer · /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server
- How a credential is presented
- Also searched as: oid4vp, presentation, present, show a credential, openid4vp, dcql, prove something, log in with a credential
- The protocol a verifier uses to ask for credentials and a wallet uses to answer. The verifier states what it needs as a query rather than naming a provider, and the wallet responds with a presentation bound to that specific request — so a captured answer cannot be replayed at a different verifier.
- Gloss of OpenID for Verifiable Presentations (OpenID4VP), with DCQL for the query. This site’s own claim: /standards
- Wallet
- Also searched as: wallet, where is it stored, app, phone, my credentials, hold
- The software the holder keeps credentials in, and the place the holder’s keys are created and stay. The property that matters is not the interface: it is that the private key is generated on the device and never leaves it, because a key held by the provider makes the provider the holder no matter what the screen says.
- Gloss of No single specification; the relevant ones are OpenID4VCI/VP for the protocols and the platform key stores for custody. This site’s own claim: /for-people
- What this site is
- Also searched as: orbis, what is orbis, what does this do, what is this, the platform, product, what do you do, help
- This surface will not summarise the product for you, because a summary is exactly the kind of claim this site refuses to make without a receipt. What it will do is hand you the register: the capability page states what is live, what is partial and what is not built, each one linked to the endpoint that proves it.
- Gloss of Not a specification — a register. This site’s own claim: /capabilities · served by this cell: /openapi.json · /build
- The standards
- Also searched as: standards, specifications, specs, interoperable, eidas, regulation, compliance, conformance
- Verifiable credentials are not one standard but a stack: a data model, a serialization, a protocol to issue, a protocol to present, a way to identify keys and a way to publish status. Interoperability claims are only meaningful per layer, which is why a page that claims the whole stack at once is telling you nothing.
