QRlab was founded to enable entities to provide reliable and secure digital certification. It provides a way for you to distribute your documents such that the data contained within the document can be easily and independently verified.
The platform was designed to be as minimally intrusive as possible, boiling down to 2 steps:
- Upload your document
- Download a QR code watermarked version of your document
The downloaded document will contain a QR code that when scanned, will lead to a QRlab page that contains your document with integrity checks.
Because QRlab documents are stored on the blockchain, these documents are publicly verifiable. This does not mean the documents are public per se, it only means that the hashes attached to your document are available on the blockchain for independent verification.
Behind the scenes
QRlab leverages off a document endorsement and verification framework by the name of OpenAttestation.
OpenAttestation is an open-sourced framework to endorse and verify documents using the blockchain. Documents issued this way are cryptographically trustworthy and can be verified independently.
OpenAttestation leverages off Ethereum Smart Contracts to ensure document integrity, issuance status and issuance identity, all while being aligned to the W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model for interoperability.
