Federation
Verifier
In decentralized identity, the Verifier is the entity that checks whether the presented identity proof is valid for granting access or service.
Definition
The Verifier is the relying party that receives a proof from the holder and validates it before granting access, service, or recognition of a claim. In this model, the verifier checks proof integrity and sufficiency rather than directly managing the whole identity record.
