October 31, 2024

Technology Digital Credentials has evolved significantly in recent years. Today, organizations are looking for solutions that offer secure, verifiable, and widely recognized credentials. In this article, we will explore how Acreditta operates under global recognition standards to offer Digital Credentials that are not only secure and reliable, but also highly portable. In addition, we will tell you about the specific technologies we employ, such as OpenBadges 3.0, Blockchain, and Verifiable Credentials, that elevate the perceived value of your certifications.

What are global and open standards for digital recognition?

The global recognition standards are internationally accepted standards and protocols that ensure that Digital Credentials can be reliably recognized, verified, and used across different platforms and contexts, regardless of the country or organization issuing them. These standards ensure that Digital Credentials, such as certificates, insignia o professional titles, follow certain criteria of quality, security and transparency, which increases their value and acceptance in the educational and professional fields.

By operating under these standards, Digital Credentials gain key attributes such as portability, interoperability y to maximise security and your enjoyment.:

  • PortabilityGlobal standards allow credentials to be transferred between systems and shared across professional networks, educational platforms, and employers across countries.
  • Interoperability: Credentials based on global standards can be integrated and used across different digital platforms without losing integrity or authenticity, facilitating their adoption in learning management systems (LMS), professional networks such as LinkedIn, recruiting systems, and more.
  • SecurityGlobal standards such as the use of blockchain or the Verifiable Credentials model ensure that credentials are verifiable and protected against alteration, which increases confidence in their validity.

These standards also offer a key advantage in terms of flexibility to adapt to different needs and technologies. Organizations that adopt these standards, such as Acreditta, can ensure that the credentials issued are recognized worldwide and provide users with a modern, high-value certification experience, strengthening their competitiveness and profile in the global labor market.

What are the global recognition standards used by Acreditta?

Acreditta uses advanced technologies and globally recognized standards, such as OpenBadges 3.0, Ethereum blockchain, and the Verifiable Credentials standard, to ensure that your digital credentials are portable, secure, and trusted globally. By implementing these tools, we ensure that our clients’ certification processes are supported by cutting-edge technologies, increasing the perceived value of each credential issued.

Acreditta Technology: Security and Confidence in Every Credential

Ethereum Blockchain: Transparency and Security

At Acreditta we use the Ethereum blockchain, a robust and widely adopted platform in the world of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. The Ethereum blockchain is a block chain system that allows information to be stored in a secure and verifiable manner, ensuring that the digital credentials issued by Acreditta are unalterable and traceable. Below are some benefits of Ethereum in the context of digital credentials:

  • Maturity and Adoption:The Ethereum blockchain is one of the oldest and most widely adopted. This gives it a high degree of security and backing from an active developer community that supports its development and constant improvement.
  • Robust EcosystemEthereum has a diverse ecosystem that includes tools, libraries, and resources that facilitate the development of decentralized applications (DApps) and verifiable credentials.
  • Flexibility and Functionality: With support for Turing-complete smart contracts, Ethereum enables the programming of advanced functionalities essential for the creation of verifiable credential systems. This allows for complex and adaptable logic that supports the needs of each client.

At Acreditta we use the network LACChain of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) to ensure transparent, secure and verifiable Digital Credentials. This network, promoted for Latin America and the Caribbean, guarantees that each credential issued is unalterable and protected against fraud, while facilitating its interoperability on various platforms. With LACChain, Acreditta’s Digital Credentials are reliable and recognized, supported by a high-standard infrastructure and aligned with regional development.

OpenBadges 3.0: Open and portable credentials

OpenBadges 3.0 is the digital credential standard that ensures that issued credentials can be shared and recognized across multiple platforms. By following this standard, Acreditta ensures that Digital Credentials are portable and widely accepted.

Credentials under this standard are in a verifiable format that allows credential holders to confidently demonstrate their skills and knowledge, no matter where they share their achievements.

Verifiable Credentials Standard: Interoperability and Flexibility

The standard of Verifiable Credentials, promoted by W3C, allows Digital Credentials to be interoperable and compatible with different systems. Thanks to this standard, Acreditta ensures that Digital Credentials adapt to the needs of each organization, allowing integration into various technological environments and verification of their authenticity without difficulty. This level of interoperability significantly improves the flexibility of credentials, allowing them to be used in a variety of contexts, from the educational to the professional field.

In conclusion, the implementation of global standards and advanced technologies such as OpenBadges 3.0, blockchain and Verifiable Credentials positions Acreditta as a benchmark in secure, verifiable and globally recognized Digital Credentials. By opting for a solution that uses these tools, organizations manage to increase the trust and value of their certification processes, ensuring that their users’ Digital Credentials are widely accepted and respected.
