# Verifiable Issuers and Verifiers
This specification describes a data model with which one or more recognized
entities, such as one or more persons and/or organizations, can be described as
known to perform specific actions, such as issuing or verifying a verifiable
credential. The data model enables the publication or direct sharing of such
information, providing a cryptographically-verifiable and privacy-preserving
mechanism through which a holder can demonstrate that an entity whose
credential they are using is recognized within a particular ecosystem. The
specification is designed to interoperate with existing "trust infrastructures",
such as X.509 certificate authority lists and ETSI Trust Service Lists, while
enabling new decentralized ecosystems to be built using verifiable credentials.
