Since the beginning of our journey here at MATTR, decentralization and digital identity have been central to our approach to building products. As part of this, we’ve supported Decentralized Identifiers (or DIDs) since the earliest launch of our platform. …
Summary: We explore how to issue credentials using secure messaging.
At MATTR, we’ve pioneered a way to request and receive credentials using OpenID Connect (OIDC) capability.
However, if you already have a robust mechanism in place to authenticate users, then setting up additional OIDC capability is unnecessary. Sending credentials using…
The Internet Identity Workshop continues to be a central nucleus for thoughtful discussion and development of all things related to digital identity. The most recent workshop, which was held in mid-April, was no exception. …
It’s no secret we need a better web. The original vision of an open and decentralized network that’s universally accessible continues to be a north star for those working to design the future of digital infrastructure for everyday people. Despite the progress that has been made in democratising access to…
The evolution of identity on the web is happening at a rapid pace, with many different projects and efforts converging around similar ideas with their own interpretations and constraints. It can be difficult to parse through all of these developments while the dust hasn’t completely settled, but looking at these…
In the world of decentralized identity and digital trust, there are a variety of new concepts and topics that are frequently referenced, written, and talked about, but rarely is there a chance to introduce these concepts formally to audiences who aren’t already familiar with them.
For this reason, we have…
Trust frameworks are a foundational component of the web of trust. A trust framework is a common set of best practice standards-based rules that ensure minimum requirements are met for security, privacy, identification management and interoperability through accreditation and governance. …
An important principle that we want to achieve when designing any system that involves handling Personally Identifiable Information (PII) is to minimize the data disclosed in a given interaction. When users share information, they should be able to choose what and how much they share on a case-by-case basis, while…
