Bifurcated Digital Credentials
EF 2025-26 · 2025-11-03
Résumé
Vaultie is developing a Bifurcated Credential which is a digital verifiable credential that can be verified by any party but a subset of the information can only be verified by specific parties. This allow for instances where an issuer can issue credentials with gated information that could be verified at each specific gate, for example, a health card which may need to verified for its authenticity by a medical clerk, but may need specific information for perhaps a doctor or pharmacist. This type of double use verification has many use cases that can be further explored and can foster faster adoption and interoperability of credentials by enabling combined economic models.
This differs from a Zero Knowledge Proof as a Bifurcated Credential

Description (French)
Vaultie développe une identité bifurquée, c’est-à-dire une identité numérique vérifiable par n’importe quelle partie, mais dont une partie des informations ne peut être vérifiée que par des parties spécifiques. Cela permet à un émetteur de délivrer des identités contenant des informations restreintes qui peuvent être vérifiées à chaque niveau spécifique. Par exemple, une carte de santé dont l’authenticité doit être vérifiée par le personnel médical, mais qui peut nécessiter des informations spécifiques pour un médecin ou un pharmacien. Ce type de vérification à double usage présente de nombreux cas d’utilisation qui peuvent être explorés plus en détail et qui peuvent favoriser une adoption et une interopérabilité plus rapides des identifiants en permettant des modèles économiques combinés. Cela diffère d’une preuve à divulgation nulle de connaissance, car un identifiant bifurqué
