About BC Digital Trust

Organisations and teams in British Columbia, Canada are contributing to the fields of Digital Trust and Verifiable Credentials.

This website, a preview and work-in-progress, is built and maintained by the Digital Identity and Trust Program within the British Columbia Ministry of Citizens’ Services. The Digital Identity and Trust program leads BC Digital trust efforts in partnership with ministry organizations. As such, alignment to the Digital Framework is a driving factor in this work.

This website is also resource for the open community to explore these new technologies, whether you’re a stakeholder exploring new horizons, a project lead putting Digital Trust building blocks together, or a developer getting into the details of the latest code.

Feedback is welcomed via the Contact page. This site is the evolution of vonx.io, the Verifiable Organizations Network that focused on trustworthy data about organizations.
