In general, Verified Cloud identities are well suited for use in the following general areas:
Authentication
This means identifying a user and can be achieved with a high level of assurance through the use of verified claims / claims provided by a trusted third party.
Authorisation
This is the process of giving the identified user access to specific resources, such as web pages, services, documents etc. This would be achieved on the basis of the relevant user claim values.
Real time user status information
For example is the user currently licensed to practise medicine, does the user hold a valid driving license, what is the user's current credit rating, etc.
Confirmatory user data
In this case yes / no type answers are required about the user, such as is the user over 55 years old?
Digitally signing documents and forms
More details of specific examples are given in the other pages in this section.
