Decentralized Identifiers are a W3C standard and core to user identities using the Verida Network. The Verida network enables user’s to maintain private keys/seed phrases to control their identity.
Each decentralized identity is an account on the Verida Network.
Users control the private keys to their accounts, enabling them to:
- Encrypt, authenticate and authorize access to their private data
- Control where their data is stored
- Sign their data and messages to third parties
- Send and receive encrypted messages with other identities
- Sign into decentralized applications
Verida has implemented a fast, low cost implemention of the DID Core standard that forms the basis of accounts on the Verida Network. Learn more.
