How to Design a System for Verifying Organizational Identity and Authority
When a company calls your phone or signs up for your service, how do you know that it is a real business? And how do you know if the person you're talking to is actually authorized to represent the purported company?
Today, business verification relies on company registration documents, authorization letters, employment records, and manual checks to answer these questions.
The problem?
Business registries are hard to access. Even if documents are available, they are often outdated. Employees change roles. Authorization can be revoked. And verifying all this information becomes even more complicated when you're dealing with organizations in other countries.
And you have to reverify everything each time you deal with the company.
What if you could verify an organization's identity, confirm someone's authority to represent it, and check whether that authority is still valid… automatically?
That's exactly the kind of system we'll show you how to design in this webinar.
Join Dock Labs' Richard Esplin (Head of Product) and Mike Parkhill (Head of Engineering) for a practical, architecture-focused session on building systems for verifying organizational identity and authority using verifiable credentials.
Here's what you'll learn:
- How to verify businesses: Design a system that allows one organization to independently verify another organization's identity.
- How to prove someone has authority: Enable employees and representatives to prove who they work for and exactly what they're authorized to do.
- How to manage credentials: Evaluate how wallets for organizations, representatives, and employees differ from consumer identity wallets.
- How to verify delegation: Build and validate chains of authority, even when multiple organizations or representatives are involved.
- How to keep authorization up to date: Handle revocation, expired permissions, and changes in employment or responsibilities.
- How to integrate it all: Understand the architecture, trade-offs, and integration options for introducing this system into existing business workflows.
If you're responsible for designing identity, security, or authorization systems for B2B interactions, this session will give you a practical framework for approaching the problem.
