Education and certification. Issuer and verifier — both sides.
Academic credentials and professional certifications create the first deeply studied trust corridor. Universities and training bodies issue. Employers, HR teams, banks, and embassies verify — through authorized, structured access.
Education to employment. Training to access.
The credential is issued once and verified many times across the lifecycle of a career. Each verification interaction is an opportunity for structured, authenticated evidence — not a manual call to the registrar.

For universities and certification bodies.
Issue protected credentials that travel with verifiable evidence — without relying on the recipient to maintain a link or the verifier to call your office.
Current pain points
Verification calls
Registrar offices field hundreds of verification requests per year. Manual confirmation does not scale and provides no tamper evidence.
Shared PDFs
Unprotected PDFs or certificates sent by email can be altered. The issuer has no visibility into how the document is used after issuance.
No lifecycle visibility
Once issued, there is no way to revoke, suspend, or replace a credential if circumstances change — or if the document should no longer be valid.
Issuance workflow
Issue or stamp
Create credentials individually, from a template, or in bulk via CSV. Web app or REST API.
Evidence is computed
Integrity evidence is computed using keys held outside the application database. No personal data is published.
Lifecycle chain opens
Suspend, revoke, replace, or reactivate at any time. Every status change is recorded.
Deliver to recipient
Protected PDF delivered by email. The recipient presents it. Verifiers use ANANKE — not the recipient.
For HR teams, admissions, banks, and embassies.
Approved verifier organizations receive a structured result — issuer identity, content integrity, lifecycle state, and context. Not a green checkmark. Not a call to the registrar.
HR and talent teams
Verify academic credentials and professional certifications as part of hiring due diligence. Structured result replaces manual background check calls.
University admissions
Confirm authenticity and current status of prior credentials submitted by applicants. Reduces fraud risk at the admissions stage.
Banking and KYC
Use verified credentials as supporting evidence for onboarding, account opening, or loan assessment — where qualification matters.
Scholarship bodies
Confirm academic standing and institutional affiliation with a structured, lifecycle-aware result — not a copy of a document.
Embassies and consulates
Verify academic or professional credentials as part of visa applications or residency processes. Structured verification by authenticated access.
Professional regulators
Confirm that a practitioner holds a valid, active credential before authorizing professional practice or granting a license.
Verification is authorized and authenticated. Verifiers access the ANANKE platform with an approved organizational account — not anonymous public access.
What a pilot looks like.
A pilot gives one institution access to the issuance platform and up to one verifier-side organization access to the verification layer. It is structured to validate the corridor, not to deploy at scale.
Scope
One issuer organization — university, training body, or certification authority.
Up to one verifier-side organization included in the pilot scope.
Defined record type: academic credentials, professional certificates, or training records.
Dedicated tenant environment, template setup, and API access if needed.
Pilot period: aligned to an academic or certification cycle.
