Verifying Credentials

Verifying is done from a wallet with the verifier capability, using one of its configured Credential Verifier definitions (see Identity Templates).

Starting a verification​

Click a verifier tile in the Interactions panel on the wallet dashboard, or ask the Nexus Assistant to verify a credential for you. This opens the Verify Credential dialog.

Choosing a mode​

A toggle at the top switches between:

  • QR / URL (default)
  • WMP — for a wallet you already have a WMP connection with.

QR / URL mode​

Nexus automatically requests a verification session and shows:

  • The verifier URL in a copyable text field.
  • A QR code ("Scan to present credentials").
  • A spinner: "Waiting for holder to present credentials…"

Share the URL or QR code with the holder however is convenient. Nexus polls in the background and the screen advances automatically once the holder responds.

WMP mode​

Pick the connected peer wallet. Nexus shows a spinner card: "Verification Request Sent" — "The request has been delivered to {entity} via the WMP channel. Waiting for credentials…" No QR code is needed since the request goes straight to the peer's wallet.

On success​

A green check and "{n} Credential(s) Verified," with a note confirming "Holder DID matches the credential subject of all presented credentials" when applicable. The holder's DID is shown in a copyable box, and each verified credential is rendered below using the same Credential Detail view used elsewhere.

On failure​

A red "Verification Failed" alert with the reason returned by the server (e.g. an expired or revoked credential, a credential that doesn't match what was requested).

Reviewing results​

Every verification — successful or not — is saved and shown in two places:

  • The wallet's Verification Results tab (see Managing Identities): a table of Credential Type, Holder, Status (Verified/Invalid), and Verified At.
  • The Dashboard's owner-wide Verification Results panel, covering every wallet you own.

Click any row to reopen the full result in a detail dialog.
