What is a vURL?

The link that proves itself

Today, anyone can forward a link via email, WhatsApp or SMS. The recipient usually cannot verify whether that link actually came from the right company. With a vURL, that changes.

A vURL (Verified URL) is a technically secured link that allows anyone to independently verify whether a document, web page or dataset is genuine, comes from the right sender, and has not been altered.

A vURL can only be created by a pre-validated company or organisation. The link contains a technical connection to that organisation and a control mechanism.

You do not need to trust anyone. The link proves it itself.

No software required

Anyone can verify a vURL without an app, installation or account.

Cryptographic hash

Immutable: any change to the content results in a different verification outcome.

Independently verifiable

By anyone. Without contacting or trusting the issuer.

Blockchain anchoring

Optionally externally anchored for maximum non-repudiation.

What does a vURL prove?

Clear about what it does and does not

A vURL is a technical verification tool - not a proof of identity, not a login, and not a legal signature.

What a vURL does prove

  • That the content has not been altered since publication
  • That the content comes from a validated issuer
  • That the technical signature is valid
  • That the verification is externally verifiable

What a vURL does not prove

  • - Identity of persons
  • - Login or access rights
  • - Legal signature
  • - Authorisation system
