Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is decentralized digital identity?

Decentralized digital identity (SSI) is an approach to identity management that allows individuals to control and manage their own identity information securely, without relying on centralized authorities. It uses technologies such as blockchain to provide a secure and verifiable method for managing and sharing digital credentials.

2. What are the key components of decentralized digital identity?

Key components include Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs). DIDs are unique identifiers associated with an entity that can be managed without the need for a central authority, while VCs are digital documents that certify some information about an entity and can be verified electronically.

What are the benefits of decentralized digital identity for users and organizations?

Benefits include greater control and privacy over personal information for users, as well as increased security and efficiency for organizations. Decentralized digital identity also promotes global interoperability, allowing credentials to be recognized and used in different systems and jurisdictions.

What is QuarkID and what is its relationship with Extrimian?

QuarkID is an open source and decentralized protocol for the implementation of digital identity systems that aligns with global standards established by organizations such as W3C. Extrimian plays a crucial role in the development and promotion of QuarkID, offering solutions that facilitate the adoption of these technologies and enable organizations to implement decentralized digital identity systems efficiently.

5. How does Extrimian promote the adoption of decentralized digital identity?

Extrimian facilitates the adoption of decentralized digital identity by providing tools, expertise and support to enable organizations of all sizes to quickly integrate these technologies into their operations. Its focus is on maximizing value and minimizing the risks and costs associated with the implementation of new technologies.

6. How is interoperability ensured in decentralized digital identity systems?

Interoperability is ensured through compliance with global standards and the use of open technologies such as blockchain. QuarkID, for example, is designed to be interoperable with other digital identity systems by adhering to standards set by organizations such as W3C.

7. What are the challenges facing the adoption of decentralized digital identity?

Challenges include the need for greater awareness and understanding of these technologies, overcoming regulatory and compliance barriers, and the need to ensure interoperability between different digital identity systems.

8. How are privacy and security challenges in decentralized digital identity addressed?

Privacy and security are addressed through the use of advanced cryptographic technologies to protect information and ensure that only authorized parties can access verifiable credentials. In addition, the decentralized approach reduces the risk of attacks and data breaches by avoiding the centralization of personal information.

9. What role do international organizations such as W3C play in decentralized digital identity?

International organizations such as W3C play a crucial role in the development of open and interoperable standards for decentralized digital identity. These standards allow different digital identity systems to work together seamlessly and securely in a global context.
