Our verification, in KYA format.
iDharma exports a verified consultant's or notarized agent's status as a KYA-compatible attestation — JSON mapped to the open Skyfire KYAPay protocol and aligned with Experian's Know Your Agent / Agent Trust framework. We populate the slot these standards reserve for an independent verifier. We are the referee against the standard, not its author.
Mapped to a public standard
The Skyfire KYAPay protocol
(the open identity layer Experian's Know Your Agent framework adopts) defines signed claims about an
agent and the human/operator behind it. Crucially, both its human-identity (hid) and
agent-platform (apd) objects carry a verifier / verified /
verification_id triple — the named place an independent party asserts "this identity was
verified, by this verifier, with this id." That triple is where iDharma plugs in.
Fields beyond the protocol — reputation, provenance, revocation status — live under an explicit
idharma_extensions envelope and are labelled as ours, modelled on the W3C Verifiable
Credentials credentialStatus pattern. Each attestation also links back to our public
credential verifier.
How we map
| KYAPay field | iDharma source |
|---|---|
hid (human identity) | Verified consultant — name, organization, email |
aid (agent identity) | Notarized agent — name, endpoint, capabilities hash, agent_ref |
apd (agent platform / operator) | The agent's operator / principal |
verifier/verified/verification_id | iDharma + verified flag + badge code / notarization ref |
scope | Verification tier / declared capabilities |
idharma_extensions | reputation, provenance, revocation_status (W3C VC style) — our extension |
