The Wallet · Portable credentials
Verified once.Carried everywhere.
The Wallet turns a one-time verification into a lifetime asset. Credentials live on the holder’s device — cryptographically sealed, instantly shareable, and verifiable by anyone.

What lives in the wallet.
Any record a person is asked to prove, again and again, becomes a credential they hold once — issued by the organization that verified it.

Sharing is a presentation, not a file cabinet.
Holders share exactly the credential they choose, with a link that verifies it and then disappears.
- 01
Open the credential
The wallet is the vID home screen. Each credential shows its status, issuer, subject fields, and attachments — PDFs, documents, and images travel with it.
- 02
Generate a share
One tap creates a QR code or link. Cortex generates a cryptographically random token and stores only its HMAC-SHA256 hash — the usable secret never touches our servers.
- 03
Recipient verifies
The recipient opens a public page with the credential’s status, fields, and files. No account, no app install, no phone call to the issuer.
- 04
The link expires
Shares expire after 15 minutes. The credential stays valid; the window to view it closes, and a new share takes one tap.
A lifecycle you can audit.
Pending, active, revoked
Every credential moves through an explicit lifecycle. Revocation is instant and visible to anyone holding a share link from that moment on.
Issuer-signed
Credentials carry their issuer, subject, and issuance date under the W3C Verifiable Credential data model — portable proof, not a database row.
Attachments included
Supporting files — certificates, reports, identification documents — are bound to the credential itself, so evidence and claim travel together.
