First MVP of a Decentralized Identity service integrated with HSMs Keys

Project
20050 Secur-e-Health
Type
New service
Description

At the end of November 2022, Kelvin Zero has completed its first MVP of a DID method implementation according to the W3C's DID standard (did:kzero). It supports the creating and resolving operations and allows one to have a user-centric but multi-partite portable one-time-use identity that is integrated with a Hardware Security flow, that doesn't rely on a username nor a password. This is a first in this ecosystem and will allow any partners of the consortium to adopt this type of identity to on-board patients, researchers, medical staff, but remain in control of their federated systems.
