Digital Identity

Digital sovereign identity (DSI) is a term used to describe the digital movement that recognizes an individual should own and control their identity without the intervening administrative authorities. DSI allows people to interact in the digital world with the same freedom and capacity for trust as they do in the offline world which is managed in a decentralized manner & allows individuals to manage identities without relying on third parties.

Why Do We Need Blockchain for Identity?

As emerging technology like blockchain accelerates, the idea of DSI seems to perfectly fit as it focuses on decentralization. Identities of an individual within the blockchain are represented with the addresses which can easily be created using a wallet. In this peer-to-peer system, the users are issued credentials and are digitally verifiable & cryptographically secure. Blockchain identity management systems could be used to eradicate current identity issues such as:

Inaccessibility

Data Insecurity

Fraudulent Identities

The Solution Digital Identity Provides

Identity Owned by User Only

The data is stored on user devices instead of centralized databases. This can reduce the need to maintain data silos by the service providers, which can greatly reduce the number of data honeypots in existence today. Users have complete ownership and responsibility over their data.

The Consent of an Individual

One important factor that is involved with DSI is the consent of an individual. An individual’s consent is required to reveal information regarding the identity and to use those credentials. Combining DSI with blockchain gives identity control back to the users in the most decentralized manner. They have the ability to grant access and will also be able to revoke their access to the data in the future.

Mass Adoption of the Technology

Our often-misplaced trust in centralized platforms, databases and protocols could perhaps be addressed by a technology that is trustless by design. Having a decentralized system in place with DSI puts trust in the users which can be a potential to mass adoption of the technology.

How do we do it differently

Xord Solutions is a rapidly rising star in the blockchain industry and wants to help blur the lines between the digital and physical world of identities. With secure digital sovereign identities, all your information can be in a single space and entirely under your control. Digitizing and unifying identities is the way to go in a world where the average person on the internet has to make over a hundred internet accounts on different websites and remember the passwords in order to use their services.
Xord Solutions has developed a minimal viable product (MVP) in collaboration with Trustnet to build a product entailing DSI. The main objective is to develop a solution that is simple yet powerful and easy for the users to use. Due to its wider use cases and potential audience adaptability, we decided to build on the following platforms.

Hyperledger Indy was used as an underlying core technology that has built in security making it secure & decentralised.
Hyperledger Aries was used to build different agents or wallets for web & mobile based users & entities to enable operations like reading & writing data to & from the blockchain.

Process How We Work

1. Consultation

Once we have connected, we’ll get on a call to discuss the project idea. We will go through all the details, the problem you’re solving, your goals, and the strategies you have to achieve them. In this phase, we will propose to you any quick improvements to your ideas and better alternatives that can help in your product.

2. Specification

Together we will refine the idea, brainstorm on improvements, and document all the specifications. These specifications will not only help us to get on the same page but to start the actual development and idea implementation.

3. Design and Development

Following the agile methodology, we will kick off the project according to the set milestones. The product will first be designed by user experience designers. Once the designs are approved by the stakeholders, they will be handed over to the development team to finally produce a working product. During the process, at the end of each sprint, you get hands-on with a working deliverable. This process ends with a successful launch.

4. Maintenance

We also provide post-launch maintenance services which involve features updates, technical improvements, change requests, and fixes. This makes sure that the applications are sustainable over time.
