IBM Decentralized Identity

The IBM Decentralized Identity platform is both an enterprise solution for individual companies and the foundation of a global decentralized identity ecosystem. IBM’s decentralized identity solution has prioritized interoperable protocols rooted in Hyperledger Indy and Aries to provide secure exchange of information. IBM’s decentralized identity solution can help enterprises establish decentralized identity networks built upon Hyperledger Indy or participate in decentralized identity ecosystems as issuers, holders, and verifiers.
