ActivityPub is also used for federation.

Badge issuers (ActivityPub actors) can follow other issuers.

When a badge is issued, a Create activity is federated.

Other servers receive that activity and can store a local copy of the badge.

This works very similarly to how Mastodon servers cache posts.

Because of that, badges can also be:

• revoked using the Delete activity
• updated using the Update activity

Again, this reuses existing ActivityPub verbs instead of inventing a new protocol or new spec.

Simple primitives, (I love how simple it is), powerful results.

Verification is also straightforward.

The #OpenBadge issuer URL points to the ActivityPub actor URL.

That means the same actor who published the badge also owns the public/private key pair used in ActivityPub.

So the actor identity and the badge issuer identity match.

@badgefed now you can export your badge as #openbadge !

You cannot import it into badgr tho, because it will verify by email and not fediverse url.
