The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has published ISO 17442-3, expanding the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) standard to include verifiable LEIs (vLEIs)—digitally signed, tamper-resistant credentials pioneered by GLEIF for decentralized authentication of legal entities.

This standard outlines how vLEIs utilize Authentic Chained Data Container (ACDC) technology and the Key Event Receipt Infrastructure (KERI) protocol to securely trace credentials back to GLEIF as the root of trust. Notably, it describes how vLEIs can verify the identities of individuals representing organizations in official or functional roles, marking a significant advancement toward universally trusted digital verification of organizations and their authorized representatives.
