A page to introduce SSI (Self-sovereign identity) and decentralized identity : SSI Essentials: Everything you need to know about Decentralized Identity
An explanation about DIDs (Decentralized Identity) and VCs (Verifiable Credentials) : What are Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) & Verifiable Credentials (VCs)?
The structure of a DID is:
- DID Scheme: All DIDs begin with “did:”
- DID method: This field specifies how to deal with this DID. When reading this part of the DID, computers understand where to go fetch the DID. It could be on a blockchain (EBSI) or on a DNS (web)
- DID Method-specific identifier: Refers to the DID’s unique identifier within the method
An user can request to associate one or several Verifiable Credentials to a DID. An Issuer will issue VC for this specific DID
There are 3 components in a VC:
- Credential Metadata: Properties or attributes of the credential
- Claims: A statements about a subject (individual, legal entity, or thing).
- Proofs: cryptographic signatures tied to private keys that prove the user sharing the VC is the subject of the information
