Decentralized Identity Landscape: Communities, Projects, Technologies, and Tools
summary
Overview of concrete decentralized identity components and live pilots: Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) resolve to DID Documents and use crypto key pairs, Verifiable Credentials (W3C VC 1.1) carry signed claims, and OpenID for Verifiable Credentials serves as the protocol for issuance and presentation. EU eIDAS2 mandates a European digital identity wallet with open source reference implementations; EBSI blockchain and regional pilots (European Wallet Consortium travel pilots) run now. California issues a mobile driver’s license in production — about 600,000 credentials issued — and university digital diploma pilots demonstrate workable issuance and verification.
