The Blockpass Glossary will help you understand the terminology used in our documentation, FAQs and on our website in general, as some of the definitions are Blockpass-specific.
Identity (Blockpass Identity). Blockpass Identity is your unique re-usable profile stored and used within the Blockpass ecosystem. You can create, manage, and share your Identity using our Mobile or Web application. Your Blockpass Identity consists of different elements, such as your Name, Date of Birth, Passport picture and Certificates.
Certificate(s). Certificates are packaged and sealed results of the verification of your data. There are different types of Certificates and each of them confirms an element of Your Identity (e.g. authenticity of your passport of a confirmation of your residential address). Certificates are issued by different Verifiers.
Verifier(s). Verifiers are different parties who check your data. Main Verifiers used by Blockpass are Onfido (Identity Document Authenticity) and ComplyAdvantage (Sanction list and PEP list checks). Some verifications are done by Human Operators.
Sanctions / Sanction lists. Sanction lists are issued and maintained by Governments and Financial Authorities. Sanctions may be imposed against separate Individuals or Entities, or Entire Countries.
PEP / Politically Exposed Person - a person entrusted with a prominent public function (politics) or holding a top-level position in a state-owned company. A relative, business partner or any other person close to a PEP may be considered a PEP as well.
