Declare adoption

For suppliers

Earn it once. Take it with you.

Today a supplier proves the same facts about itself to every customer, in every customer’s format. SIGNET models those facts as credentials that the supplier holds and presents.

What the standard models

  • Your credentials are yours. Registration, insurance, certifications and financial standing are modelled as verifiable credentials, issued to you and held by you.
  • You decide who sees them. Consent is a record: who may see what, for what purpose, until when. Where it is granted as revocable, you can withdraw it.
  • Show the fact, not the file. The model allows selective disclosure, so a credential can confirm that a threshold is met without revealing the figure behind it.
  • See how you were judged. An evaluation records the criteria, the scores and who evaluated.

What this is, and is not

This is what SIGNET models today. How much of it you meet in practice depends on the platforms your customers use. Nothing here is a promise about any particular network.

Reading, implementing and adopting the standard costs nothing.

Where to start

  1. See a supplier qualified under a published policy: run the onboarding demonstration.
  2. Ask your customers whether they accept SIGNET documents.
  3. Declare adoption.
