Public Profiles

A public profile is the outward-facing representation of a user's identity and trust credentials. It aggregates several types of information into a single record that can be viewed by potential sharing partners before establishing a formal relationship.

What is included​

Each public profile contains:

  • Profile data — name and core identity information
  • Public keys — cryptographic keys for secure communication
  • Proofs and signatures — verifiable attestations and digital signatures
  • Devices — registered devices associated with the user
  • Reputation — trust and reputation scores

Visibility​

Public profiles are readable by anyone within a tenant, including unauthenticated users. This supports the use case where a potential data sharing partner needs to verify a user's identity and trust credentials before establishing a formal relationship.

Unique identifier​

Each profile has a human-readable name (unique within the tenant) that serves as a friendly identifier alongside the standard system-generated ID. This makes it easier to reference and share profile information with others.
