The Importance of Digital Trust: An Overview of Decentralized Identity
summary
Decentralized identity uses verifiable credentials held in a mobile wallet to prove things like birth certificates or a passport-style travel credential without contacting the issuer at verification time, reducing integration cost and leaking of “digital dust.” Implementations use Hyperledger Aries, Indy and Ursa for agent interactions, DIDs and cryptography; governments in Europe and Canada and several travel pilots already run it; selective disclosure preserves privacy while speeding checkpoint and onboarding flows and removing airline liability risk.
