Prove Ownership

Introduction

The proof of ownership feature allows the owner of a digital passport to share access to this digital passport with someone else with read permission only. The access provided also carries a timestamped proof of ownership so that the reader of the digital passport knows when this link was issued.

Workflow

The proof, including a password, also known as a proof key, is issued by the current owner of a digital passport. Only the current owner of a digital passport can produce the password required by someone else to read the digital passport.

Usually, the current owner generates a link from the proof and shares it with another user. The other user uses the link to read the digital passport and the time when the proof was issued on the blockchain. The password generated from a proof is valid until the digital passport is transferred or another proof is generated.

📌

Note that the digital passport issuer is always able to read the digital passport as well thanks to another password (viewkey) created when the digital passport is issued.

⚠️

Fees

At the protocol level, the proof of ownership is free. Free for the issuer of the digital passport, the current owner and the recipient of the proof.

At the blockchain level, the gas fees of a proof transaction are paid by the Arianee protocol.

Interface

Builders

The proof can be issued using the API integration with Arianee SDK or directly at the blockchain level interacting with smart contracts. For proof initiated by the digital passport issuer, the digital passport issuer can develop its interface to provide proof, outsource the development to a third party or it can use an external interface such as the Arianee NFT Management Platform.

End-users

For proof initiated by another owner than the digital passport issuer, the digital passport issuer can develop its interface to let owners generate proof of ownership for their digital passports or outsource the development to a third party for such interface.

The proof of ownership can be generated on the Ownership Account web application, or any compatible interface.

Our team tips

The proof feature should be used by owners when they need to prove their ownership or share the content of their digital passports, example:

• Access to a service or event based on the ownership of a digital passport.
• Share the content with another user or the ownership of a digital passport.
