Panel Discussion: Decentralized Identity Deep Dive - Advances in Trust, Security and Scalability
summary
W3C DIDs and verifiable credentials are mature protocols (7–10 years) and are already in production: a national SSO runs for 7+ years, Aadhaar and EPFO pilots adopt VCs, and Bhutan onboarded 50% of 800,000 citizens at ~50,000/month and donated its SSI stack to Linux Foundation. Implementations use Hyperledger, Polygon ID and Microsoft Entra; practical gaps are wallet key recovery/guardian UX, issuer registries for interoperability, unlinkability guarantees in VC 1.0/2.0, and cloud scaling of million‑record credential stores.
