Listen now: Protecting your wallet and identity
Presenting the decentralized approach to identity management
Decentralized identity is how individuals control when, where and with whom they share their credentials. In the physical world, we take this sharing of credentials for granted – yet a secure, smart way to do this has been long missing in the digital world.
That’s about to change. Try our free alpha version of IBM Verify Credentials to see how we’re creating a decentralized approach to identity management – enabled by blockchain – building on top of open standards in combination with Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF), World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and other standards groups.
Pushing identity to the edges of the network
A new ecosystem of trust for individuals
As part of a global, public permissioned blockchain ledger, IBM Verify Credentials makes it possible for known, trusted issuing organizations to issue credentials to individuals. In turn, those individuals can hold and present credentials to verifying organizations of their choosing.
A positive impact for enterprises
Costly password resets, emerging privacy regulations and other identity management challenges force enterprises to shift resources from their core business strategies. IBM Verify Credentials allows enterprises to exchange new permissioned data sets with trust, while keeping the relationship they have with their end users.
Backed by the strength of IBM Verify
As emerging models like decentralized identity are established, IBM Verify offers a suite of authentication solutions providing a steady migration and evolution of technology without disrupting existing business process workflows.
Try our free alpha version
Discover how to use IBM Verify Credentials as you build a decentralized identity application to open a bank account with the fictional BigBlue Credit Union.
Learn about components
Use this alpha version to understand how components like agents, SDKS and samples, and credential managers work together.
Prepare
Create your account to deploy and manage agents. Then manage credentials on mobile devices and desktops by downloading the mobile app and Chrome extension.
Explore
Use provided sample apps to get your first verifiable credential from a government institution and IBM HR. You will then use those issued credentials to prove who you are to Big Blue Credit Union.
Develop
Download the IBM Verify Credentials SDK to start developing your decentralized identity application. The SDK provides a simplified experience to programmatically issue and verify credentials
