  <description
               value="The [VHL Receiver](ActorDefinition-VHLReceiver.html) SHALL be capable of receiving a Verified Health Link (VHL) from a [VHL Holder](ActorDefinition-VHLHolder.html) through a supported transport mechanism (e.g., QR code scan, direct URL, or digital message).

Upon receipt, the Receiver SHALL:
* Parse the VHL
* Validate its digital signature against a trusted key published by a recognized Trust Anchor
* Prepare to retrieve the associated health documents

Receipt of the VHL may occur through direct user interaction (e.g., scanning a QR code) or automated channels, depending on the implementation context."/>
