An open by design identity verification system built by and for researchers

VeriMe provides researchers a secure digital identity that enables verified access without exposing personal data.  

  • VeriMe is a global digital identity and personhood verification service for researchers.

  • VeriMe can be directly integrated into existing systems for access to research data and resources, increasing integrity and trust in digital scholarship and research.

  • VeriMe eliminates the need for research systems, universities, and governments to collect and store sensitive personal information (PII) while also providing assurance that system access is limited to identity-verified users.

  • Researchers manage the sharing of their verified digital identity, can earn vouchers for their research service activity to exchange for access to research products and services, and may take a role in VeriMe governance.

Our
Commitment to Open Science

  • Who We Serve

    VeriMe is an important open science tool that enables researcher mobility and broad participation. Our primary stakeholders are researchers.

  • Our Governance

    VeriMe is organized as a cooperative governed by its members and community stakeholders. Members control their VeriMe accounts, and can verify identity and generate a public key, accessible by API, all while maintaining PII privacy.

  • Our Business Model

    We are an open research infrastructure supported by our Members and parties that integrate our API into research workflows. As a coop our earnings are redistributed to our Members and reinvested in our platform.

  • Our Technology

    We leverage proven and open source technology as VeriMe's foundation, and in kind, make our work available under an Apache 2.0 license.
