A real digital identity for every child, controlled by parents, not companies.
Children have no robust digital identity today. Veridian changes that by giving every child a cryptographically verified digital ID, linked to their parent's SEDI credential and accepted across schools, platforms, games, and any service that needs to know who they are talking to.
Children are invisible online, and that is a problem.
No verified identity for minors
Children currently have no form of robust digital identity. Schools, apps, and online platforms cannot verify who a child is or whether a parent has genuinely consented to anything.
Consent is a broken fiction
Consent today means someone with the parent's email clicked a link. That is not a verified identity. It is not enforceable. And it offers no audit trail if something goes wrong.
No parental control that actually works
Parents have no cryptographic, enforceable connection to their child's digital presence. Permissions are set at account creation and rarely revisited.
One verified link. Complete parental oversight.
Digital Guardianship is a cryptographic link between a parent's SEDI credential and their child's digital ID. The state endorses SEDI credentials to parents. Veridian creates the infrastructure that connects those credentials to a child's identity, enabling verified, auditable guardianship anywhere that identity matters — at school, on social platforms, in games, and beyond.
Verified parental consent
Not a clicked link. An actual SEDI credential holder with a legal guardianship relationship.
Every consent request is cryptographically verified
Standing, emergency, and delegated consents are all supported
Every action leaves a complete and auditable trail
Secure school-to-parent communication
Every message from a school reaches a verified parent. Every message from a parent is confirmed authentic.
No spoofing or impersonation
No uncertainty about who received what
Delivery is confirmed end-to-end
Verified identity across every platform
The child's digital ID works beyond the classroom. Any platform that needs to verify who a child is, confirm their age, or check parental consent can do so with a single credential.
Social media platforms can verify age at signup, not just ask for it
Gaming platforms can enforce age ratings and spending limits with confidence
Any service serving minors can rely on a real, parent-backed identity
The first real digital identity a child has ever held.
A verified digital ID, endorsed through the Family Portal, provides every child with a portable, parent-backed identity that works wherever they go online.
