Decentralized Identity Services

Comprehensive solutions for self-sovereign identity and verifiable credentials

Self-Sovereign Identity Systems

Complete identity frameworks that put users in control of their personal data with secure, portable digital identities.

Verifiable Credentials Infrastructure

Systems for issuing, holding, and verifying digital credentials with cryptographic proof and selective disclosure.

Zero-Knowledge Verification

Privacy-preserving verification systems that confirm information without revealing sensitive data.

Enterprise Identity Integration

Decentralized identity solutions that integrate with existing enterprise systems, compliance frameworks, and user directories.

Decentralized Identity Standards & Frameworks

Key technical protocols and frameworks powering modern identity solutions

W3C Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)

Globally unique identifiers created and controlled by the identity owner without requiring central registration. Our implementations follow the W3C DID Core specification for permanent, cryptographically-verifiable identifiers.

Method-agnostic implementation (did:ethr, did:key, did:web)
Offline-first authentication capabilities
Cryptographic binding to public key infrastructure
Multiple authentication verification methods
W3C Recommendation status
High privacy level (method dependent)

Verifiable Credentials (VCs)

Standardized containers for expressing credentials in a cryptographically secure, privacy-respecting, and machine-verifiable way. Our implementations enable secure digital representations of credentials with tamper-evident properties.

JSON-LD and JWT encoding support
Selective disclosure capability with ZKPs
Credential status verification (revocation)
Expiry and validity period management
W3C Recommendation status
Very high privacy level with ZKP

Decentralized Key Management

Secure and user-friendly systems to generate, store, and recover cryptographic keys used in decentralized identity. We implement standards like WebAuthn, KERI, and DIDComm for verifiable key management.

Threshold signatures for key recovery
Integration with hardware security modules
Social recovery mechanisms
Multi-device synchronization
Multiple standards support
Very high security level

OIDC & OAuth Integration

Implementation of OIDC4SSI (OpenID Connect for Self-Sovereign Identity) and SIOP (Self-Issued OpenID Provider) to bridge decentralized identity with existing authentication frameworks.

SIOP v2 implementation for wallet authentication
Credential issuance via OIDC
Authorization credentials flow
Enterprise directory integration
Draft specification status
Very high enterprise compatibility

Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs)

Advanced cryptographic techniques enabling selective disclosure of identity attributes without revealing underlying data. Our implementations use BBS+ signatures and other ZK systems for privacy-preserving verification.

BBS+ signatures for selective disclosure
Range proofs for numerical attributes
Non-correlation techniques
Minimal disclosure verification
Emerging standards status
Maximum privacy level

DIDComm Messaging

Secure, private communication protocol between DID-identified entities. Enables encrypted, authenticated messaging for credential exchange, verification, and general communication between identity wallets and services.

End-to-end encrypted messaging
Forward secrecy protection
Multiple transport protocols
Asynchronous communication support
Working specification status
High interoperability level

Identity Protocol Comparison

Comparing different approaches to decentralized identity implementation

ProtocolArchitectural ApproachPrivacy FeaturesKey ManagementImplementation ComplexityBest Use Cases
Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI)Fully decentralized with user-controlled identifiers, credentials stored in personal wallets, and peer-to-peer verificationHigh - Selective disclosure, zero-knowledge proofs, user consent for all data sharingUser-managed with recovery methods (social, hardware, custodial options)High - Requires significant user education and new infrastructureHealthcare records, government credentials, professional certifications, cross-border identity
Federated Identity + Verifiable CredentialsHybrid approach using existing identity providers with blockchain-verified credentialsMedium to High - Depends on implementation, potential correlation risksPartially delegated to identity providers with user-controlled aspectsMedium - Builds on existing systems with new credential layerEnterprise identity, regulated industries, backward compatibility needs
