Governance

Indicio’s solution is unmatched in the market, offering a truly decentralized approach that eliminates the need for a centralized trust registry. It implements the DIF Credential Trust Establishment specification, setting a new standard for governance automation in verifiable credential ecosystems. This innovative approach empowers ecosystems to grow efficiently, securely, and without reliance on centralized third-party services, ensuring a frictionless flow of trusted information.

Indicio uses machine-readable governance to simplify and automate ecosystem rules. Machine-readable governance encodes human-made governance decisions and rules into a machine-readable format, enabling automated implementation. These rules often include trust lists of approved credential issuers and verifiers, streamlining ecosystem management. This is calle

• DEGov: A standard for Machine-Readable Governance from the Decentralized Identity Foundation (DIF) standard, integrates traditional governance (e.g., system control) with technical policies, rules, and procedures specific to verifiable credential ecosystems. Its data format is compatible with ToIP Trust Registries, ensuring broad interoperability.

Governance Editor & Interpreter

Indicio’s governance solution provides an unparalleled framework for managing decentralized ecosystems with two key components:

1. Governance Editor: A user-friendly interface designed to simplify and accelerate the creation of governance files, making it easy to encode governance rules in machine-readable formats.

2. Governance Interpreter: Enables agents to interpret governance files and assess whether actions—such as issuing or verifying a credential—comply with the established governance rules in a decentralized ecosystem.

By streamlining the creation and enforcement of governance rules, Indicio empowers organizations to implement robust governance quickly and efficiently. No other company offers a comparable solution, positioning Indicio as the emerging standard for governance in the decentralized identity space.

Key Benefits

• Simplified Implementation: Governance rules are easily linked to ecosystem actions, such as issuing and verifying credentials, fostering ecosystem growth.

• Real-Time Updates: Rapid changes can be propagated across the ecosystem or jurisdiction, eliminating delays caused by third-party updates.

• Error-Free Coordination: Rules and permissions can be choreographed efficiently and accurately, reducing the potential for miscommunication or errors.

• Hierarchical Rules: Governance rules can be structured hierarchically, such as global > national > local, for flexibility and scalability.

• Offline Functionality: Cached files ensure governance rules remain accessible even when offline.

• Portable Trust Lists: Trust lists are portable, eliminating risks of centralized registries imposing fees or slowing down information flow.
