Press ID Badge

🏷️ Press ID Badge — Decentralized Identity & Credential Signing for Journalists Authenticate your press status. Protect your voice. Publish with integrity. Press ID Badge lets journalists, editors, and verified contributors sign digital credentials directly from their browser — using Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and W3C-compliant cryptographic flows. Built on the VerifiedPress protocol, this extension empowers content creators to assert authorship, timestamp articles, and attach signed claims to their work — without relying on centralized gatekeepers. ✨ Features - 🔐 Private Key Import: Securely load RSA private keys for credential signing - ✍️ Sign Credentials: Attach cryptographic proof of authorship to content you publish - 🪪 DID Integration: Verifies identity via did:web and publishes your public key in .well-known/did.json - 📜 Credential Export: Download signed claims as JWT or VC formats for downstream verification - 🕵️‍♀️ Press Verification: Prove your journalist status with reproducible, cryptographically anchored identity - 🔧 Developer Sandbox: Ideal for credential system builders, identity researchers, and open-source contributors 🛡️ Why It Matters In an era of misinformation, digital authenticity is power. VerifiedPress’s decentralized model enables independent journalists to prove authorship without relying on legacy platforms or paywalled registries. Your badge is your reputation — protect it. ⚠️ Disclaimer This extension is intended for development, testing, and evaluation purposes only. Do not use test keys or sandbox credentials in production environments. Always protect private keys and follow your organization's digital signing policies.
