<p>A computer-implemented method of sharing verifiable information and associated system, computer program product and web server are provided. The method comprises: receiving and storing, using a computer, data defining a subject domain pertaining to a subject party; receiving, using a computer, a request from a provider party to upload information pertaining to the subject party directly or indirectly to the subject party domain; granting access to the subject domain by the provider party; automatically, using a computer, assigning a unique identifier token to the uploaded information, indicative of the source of the information being the provider party; storing the verifiable information and the associated unique identifier token in the subject domain; and granting access to the subject domain by a referrer party; wherein the referrer party is able to view and/or download the information pertaining to the subject party and to verify the source of that information as being the provider party by virtue of the associated unique identifier token. The invention has particular application to the field of employment references, especially in areas requiring high-level vetting of employees and where there is a significant churn. It enables a secure, centralised store of an employee's employment history, with for example reference source being verified through an automated procedure.</p> |
