Hyperledger Indy is an open source implementation of a distributed ledger, purpose-built for identity solutions using privacy preserving verifiable credentials.
If you are a developer, begin your journey by looking at an Aries Framework that interact with Indy, such as Aries Cloud Agent Python, Credo TS or Aries VCX
Distributed ledger purpose-built for decentralized identity
- Correlation-resistant by design
- DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers) that are globally unique and resolvable (via a ledger) without requiring any centralized resolution authority
- Pairwise Identifiers create secure, 1:1 relationships between any two entities
- Verifiable Claims are interoperable format for exchange of digital identity attributes and relationships currently in the standardization pipeline at the W3C
- Zero Knowledge Proofs which prove that some or all of the data in a set of Claims is true without revealing any additional information, including the identity of the Prover
