Teranode Identity empowers you to create and manage your self-sovereign digital identity securely. The wallet stores attributes or claims about yourself. Claims and attributes are contained in verifiable credentials. Verifiable Credentials can be issued by external organisations or individuals that perform some verification — or self-issued by the subject. Teranode Identity Features: Securely store and share credentials with individuals and organisations. Add an extra layer of security when logging into online accounts. Effortlessly manage all your logins by presenting verifiable credentials. Teranode Identity Advantages: Create and manage your self-sovereign digital identity. Prove access rights and reputation without revealing personal information. Manage verifiable claims and generate private proof for digital interactions. Open-source and private by default, based on secure cryptographic signatures. Access web3 and web2 services with the Teranode Identity app. Enable private on-chain verifications. Convenient Control with Teranode Identity: Sign the presentation of your verifiable credential every time you present it. Our unique method of creating a Decentralised Identifier allows us to match the cryptographic signature each time you present. Teranode Identity Workflow: Storing claims (attributes): Obtaining Verifiable Credentials Scan the QR code provided by the issuer. Follow the steps to link your identity with the issuer and retrieve your claims. Safely store and manage your verifiable credentials, containing claims, directly from your wallet. Your information remains secure on your device. Presenting Private Proofs: Sharing Verifiable Credentials Scan the verifier’s QR code. Accept the proof request within your wallet. Generate and share the private proof of your claims securely with the verifier. Your data remains confidential and under your control throughout the process.
