Abstract

A apparatus for credentialing users across multiple devices. The apparatus includes a processor connected to a network and at least a user device. Processor is configured to receive a credential data structure, verify the credential data structure, generate a credential block, and store the credential block in a data storage system. A plurality of user devices may access the network and the data storage system to view the verified credentials.

Claims (42)

1. An apparatus for cryptographic distributed storage of credentials, the apparatus comprising:

at least a processor; and

a memory communicatively connected to the at least a processor, the memory containing instructions configuring the at least a processor to:

receive a credential data structure from a user;

verify the credential data structure, wherein verifying further comprises:

parsing at least a credential from the credential data structure;

generating a validator community set as a function of the at least a credential, wherein the validator community set includes a plurality of identifiers associated with a set of computing devices capable of verifying the at least a credential of the user;

transmitting a validation request to a third party validator of a remote device associated with an identifier of the plurality of identifiers;

generating a web crawling process through the third party validator, wherein the web crawling process is configured to confirm job seeker activity of the user;

receiving a validation record from the third party validator of the remote device as a function of the job seeker activity; and

verifying the credential data structure as a function of the validation record;

generate a credential block; and

store the credential block in a data storage system.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein verifying the credential data structure comprises using a machine-learning module to identify the validator community set.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein verifying the credential data structure comprises receiving digital signatures from the validator community set.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the credential data structure comprises the user's qualifications.

5. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the user qualification verification comprises using public key decryption.

6. The apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the user qualification comprises encryption using a private key.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to validate user identity.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the credential block comprises a timestamp.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the data storage system comprises an immutable sequential listing.

10. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the third party validator comprises a key retrieval module configured to generate an encrypted private key from a biometric feature of a user.

11. A method for credentialing users across multiple devices, the method comprising:

receiving, by processor, a credential data structure;

verifying, by processor, the credential data structure;

parsing, by processor, at least a credential from the credential data structure;

generating, by processor, a validator community set as a function of the at least a credential wherein the validator community set includes a plurality of identifiers associated with a set of computing devices capable of verifying the at least a credential of the user;

transmitting, by processor, a validation request to a third party validator of a remote device;

generating, by the third party validator, a web crawling process configured to confirm job seeker activity of a user;

receiving, by processor, a validation record from the third party validator of the remote device as a function of the job seeker activity;

verifying, by processor, the credential data structure as a function of the validation record;

generating, by processor, a credential block; and

storing, by processor, the credential block in a data storage system.

12. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein verifying the credential data structure comprises using a machine-learning module to identify the validator community set.

13. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein verifying the credential data structure comprises receiving digital signatures from the validator community set.

14. The method of claim 1 , wherein the credential data structure comprises the user's qualifications.

15. The method of claim 4 , wherein the user qualification verification comprises using public key decryption.

16. The method of claim 4 , wherein the user qualification comprises encryption using a private key.

17. The method of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to validate user identity.

18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the credential block comprises a timestamp.

19. The method of claim 1 , wherein the data storage system comprises an immutable sequential listing.

20. The method of claim 1 , wherein further comprising generating an encrypted private key from a biometric feature of a user through a key retrieval module.
