# Verification Methods

Use the exact descriptor `m` to select a profile. Each defines its target,
location, formats, evidence, lifetime, and result type. Common authority, claim,
signature, and lifecycle checks still apply. Unknown methods are unsupported.

These profiles remain drafts where parameters are marked pending. Attestation
profiles will be added with their issuer and trust requirements.
