Authorisations.
Made verifiable.
Provara is the Swiss B2B platform with which organisations issue signing powers and authorisations as cryptographically signed credentials, have them verified in seconds and revoke them instantly at any time.
Closed beta · Free while in beta · Activation once your organisation has passed the ZEFIX check.
Provara
Signing authority
- Person
- Thomas Müller
- Organisation
- Helvetia Treuhand AG
- Max. amount
- CHF 50’000
- Valid until
- 31.12.2027
Built on open standards
The difference
Provara does not answer the identity question, but the authorisation question — verifiable, time-limited and revocable at any time.
Not the question
“Is Mr Müller really Mr Müller?”
But rather
“May Mr Müller sign a contract of up to CHF 50’000 on behalf of Helvetia Treuhand AG?”
A controlled lifecycle
From issuance through verification to instant revocation — every authorisation stays under your control.
Issue
Choose the credential type, capture the details, set the validity. Provara generates a cryptographically signed credential (SD-JWT VC), a QR code and a public verification link.
Present
The authorised person presents the credential as a card, QR code or link — data-minimised and limited to the details required.
Verify and revoke
Any party verifies in seconds, without an account. You retain control and revoke at any time — verification detects the revocation immediately.
On the Swiss trust infrastructure
Trust you can prove technically.
No photocopy, no PDF — cryptographically signed credentials based on open standards that every party can verify independently.
Verifiable credentials
SD-JWT VC (ES256) on the swiyu infrastructure — verifiable in the government wallet, not merely as a document.
Instant revocation
IETF Token Status List: verification always checks both signature and status. A revocation takes effect immediately.
Data-minimised by design
Only what is necessary appears publicly — no internal identifiers, no full claims, IP addresses hashed exclusively.
API and Webhooks
Machine-to-machine issuance via API key; signed Webhooks with a transactional Outbox for your systems.
e-ID sign-in
Sign in with the government Swiss e-ID, as well as generic enterprise SSO via OpenID Connect (Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, Okta) with just-in-time provisioning — with multi-factor authentication and step-up re-authentication.
Audit-proof audit log
Hash-chained and append-only — every issuance, verification and revocation documented tamper-proof.
Service provider & e-ID roster
Issue credentials to a roster of e-ID-verified persons and share authorised persons across linked organisations.
Embeddable verification pages
Embeddable verification badges and pages that partners can place on their own domain.
ZEFIX organisation check
Organisations are verified against the Swiss commercial register (ZEFIX); ZEFIX-sourced master data (legal name, UID, address) is locked from manual edits.
Qualified electronic signature (QES)
Optional qualified e-signature per ZertES for legally binding signing.
Authorisations that matter in your business
Nine ready-to-use credential types — or model your own.
Signing authority
Who may sign legally binding commitments for the organisation, and up to what amount?
Power of attorney
Trustee and representation mandates — granted, time-limited and revocable at any time.
Construction site access
Access and safety credentials for people on the construction site, including short-lived ones.
Supplier approval
Verifiable compliance status of suppliers — delivered straight into your ERP via webhook.
Project role
Temporary roles and signing rights that automatically expire with the project.
Employee badge
A digital employee badge as a verifiable proof of employment.
Membership card
Membership credential for associations and chambers — verifiable and revocable at any time.
Training certificate
Proof of completed training and certifications, such as safety courses, with an expiry date.
Access pass
A general access pass for sites and events, including short-lived ones.
Custom credential types
Model your own authorisation — fields, public visibility and validity.

Frequently asked questions
What does Provara cost during the beta?
Nothing. Once your organisation is granted a place, the full product is available to you free of charge — no credit card and no automatic renewal.
How long until it is my turn?
That depends on how many places are free. We release them gradually so that we can guide every organisation through setup in person. You will hear from us as soon as it is your turn.
What happens to my data after the beta?
Your organisation, the credentials you have issued and your configuration all remain intact. At general availability we will tell you about the plans; you decide then whether to continue.
Are credentials issued during the beta real?
Yes. Even in beta, Provara issues cryptographically signed credentials (SD-JWT VC) on the e-ID/swiyu trust infrastructure. They can be verified via QR code, verification link and embed badge.
When will you publish pricing?
At general availability. While we are still developing the product together with our beta organisations, a price list would only be a snapshot.
