Decentralized identifiers (DIDs)
In the self-sovereign identity (SSI) ecosystem, entities like issuers, holders, and verifiers need unique identifiers to facilitate secure interactions. Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) provide this capability.
What are DIDs?
Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of identifier designed for the digital world. Unlike traditional identifiers managed by centralized authorities, DIDs are self-sovereign and universally unique, allowing individuals, organizations, or devices to be identified securely.
DIDs enable verifiable interactions by allowing entities to prove their identity without disclosing unnecessary personal information. This approach enhances user control over digital identities, promotes privacy, and facilitates trust-based interactions across different platforms and services.

The Truvity platform supports a number of DID methods. To learn more about available DID methods, refer to the Supported DID methods page.
