Blockchain Identities

Blockchain systems are based on advanced cryptographic mechanisms that make them inherently secure. However, managing identities in such distributed systems can be a challenge, as most Blockchain use cases require a strong identification of the participants.

During this event, we will explain how Blockchain identities are implemented on the most popular Blockchains, and how these identities can be linked to actual assets or individuals.

We will also introduce the concept of Decentralised/Self-Sovereign Identities, and the potential applications of this new chain of trust.
