Blockchain Identity

Definition

Blockchain identity represents a digital identifier managed on a decentralized ledger, providing verifiable and self-sovereign control over personal data. This identity system permits individuals or entities to control their own digital credentials, issuing them from trusted sources and presenting them selectively. Cryptographic proofs secure these identities, making them resistant to censorship and single points of failure. It aims to replace traditional centralized identity systems with a more secure and user-centric alternative.
