How do identity networks address historical document authentication?
Identity networks authenticate historical documents by issuing blockchain-backed digital certificates linked to physical artifacts. These certificates, stored as verifiable credentials (VCs), contain provenance data (e.g., origin, expert verification). Users access the ledger via QR codes or NFC tags to validate authenticity instantly. Tampering with the document invalidates the VC, ensuring trust. This approach preserves historical integrity, combats forgeries, and creates transparent archives for museums, libraries, or collectors, aligning with preservation standards.
