Session: Maximizing Trust and Efficiency: Verifiable Credentials and Decentralized Identity

Verifiable credentials (VCs) use blockchain-based distributed ledger technology to create digital credentials that can verify information. Instead of centralizing identity in the hands of institutions and centralized third-parties, decentralized identity empowers individuals to take control of their digital identity and online data. Rather than sacrificing trust for efficiency or vice versa, VCs optimize both trust and efficiency. This talk will introduce decentralized identity, the technology used to create systems to exchange verifiable credentials, and explore their use cases.


Premium Members, Ticket Holders, Speakers and recognized Global Ambassadors can watch this content once logged in.


Key Takeaways

  • Verifiable credentials maximize trust and efficiency.
  • Blockchain is an ideal platform for both security and transparency.
  • There are serious consequences for our lack of data privacy and transparency.
