AI can generate documents. PLENA becomes harder to copy when a university, diocese, NGO, employer, publisher, public-service office, or professional body issues real VRX-1 receipts that other people can verify.
An issuer is the accountable organization or role that creates or confirms a receipt. PlenaProof never claims a receipt is institution-backed unless a real institution is enrolled and authorized.
Confirms that a credential, record, attendance, service, review, refusal, decision, or archive event happened under its authority.
Supports public-safe verification: receipt ID, issuer status, record type, timestamp, scope, and revocation or correction state.
Defines who may issue, who may review, what requires escalation, when receipts expire, and how mistakes are corrected.
Begin with one willing institution, not every sector. The best first issuer is small enough to say yes, credible enough to matter, and close enough to provide real workflow feedback.
A good issuer network makes the receipt lifecycle visible without exposing private databases.
Who is allowed to issue this receipt?
What record, event, or review supports it?
What public-safe facts can be verified?
How are revocation, refusal, appeal, or update handled?
| Field | Purpose | Public? |
