Lifecycle Management of Resumés with Decentralized Identifiers and Verifiable Credentials (2406.11535v3)

Abstract: Trust in applications is crucial, especially for fast and efficient hiring processes. Applicants must present credentials that employers can trust without delays or risk of fraudulent information. This paper introduces a framework for managing digital resum\'e credentials using Decentralized Identifiers and Verifiable Credentials. We propose a framework for the issuance and verification of Verifiable Credentials in real time without intermediaries. We showcase the integration of the European Blockchain Service Infrastructure as a trust anchor. Furthermore, we demonstrate a streamlined application process, reducing verification times and fostering a reliable credentialing ecosystem across various sectors, including recruitment and professional certification.
