How do I know that my documents are secure?

The issuing institution cryptographically signs all documents to prevent tampering.   Your digital transcript in your MyCreds™ account contains legally valid digital signatures. Your documents can only be accessed by Mount Saint Vincent University, you and the institution(s) that you choose to share your documents with.

How will the receiver of my document know the document is authentic?

All certified documents carry a digital signature that meets legal standards.

An authentic document will always have a blue-ribbon symbol that validates the document and confirms it has not been altered after it has been downloaded. If a document has been altered or if the digital signature is not authentic, a symbol with a red cross will signify the document is not valid.
