Welcome to Extrimian’s guide on Decentralized Identity (DID). This page dives into what decentralized identity is, how it works, and its key benefits. We also explore how Extrimian leverages this technology to empower users with more control and enhanced security.
What Is Decentralized Identity?
Decentralized Identity gives individuals and organizations control over their identity data without depending on central authorities. It uses blockchain to create secure, verifiable identifiers that the user manages.
Core Features of Decentralized Identity:
- User Control: Users manage their own identity data.
- Privacy: Data sharing is selective and based on consent.
- Interoperability: Works across various platforms and systems.
- Security: Robust security protects identity data from unauthorized access.
Blockchain’s Role in Decentralized Identity
Blockchain is crucial for decentralized identities. It secures and manages digital identifiers and verifiable credentials, making all identity transactions transparent and resistant to tampering.
Blockchain Advantages for DID:
- Immutability: Recorded data cannot be changed, ensuring data integrity.
- Decentralization: Reduces the risk of data breaches by avoiding central data storage.
- Transparency: Allows permitted parties to see transactions, building trust.
