Verifiable Data Registry (VDR)

Indicio supports multi-ledger functionality and capabilities based on the needs of the customer.

Indicio uses Hyperledger Indy, private or public networks, or other ledgers when requested. Support for ledgerless operation is also offered. Use of a ledger provides the availability, durability, and redundancy necessary to support a robust identity ecosystem.

While we support alternative non-ledger-based solutions (see DID:WEBVH below), we highly recommend the robust Hyperledger Indy identity ledger.

  • Hyperledger Indy Networks: Hyperledger Indy is the leading open-source code for distributed ledgers. A distributed ledger provides a way to find credential issuers (through public DIDs) and perform the cryptography necessary to verify credentials. Using a distributed ledger provides a high level of cryptographic trust, information security, and network resilience.

Indicio Proven is also compatible with

  • Sovrin Ledgers

  • CANdy

  • Lissi

  • Ethereum

  • (Non-Ledger) KERI

  • Indicio Network: Indicio’s public-permissioned ledgers are built on Hyperledger Indy to provide a versatile platform for designing, testing, demonstrating, launching, and supporting decentralized identity solutions. With nodes spanning five continents and a global consortium of over 20 members, our team brings unparalleled expertise in managing Indy networks.

Value:

  • Enterprise-grade: They are professionally-supported to deliver mission-critical deployments.

  • Energy efficient: Ledgers for identity do not require proof-of-work and are low energy in operation (a write to the ledger is equivalent to a web search in energy consumption) with guaranteed 99.97% uptime.

  • Network monitoring: Indicio has developed a range of network support tools to monitor network performance.

  • Easy to use: A transaction wizard simplifies writing transactions to the ledger.

  • Easy to run: Indicio NoDeTM (Node on Demand) is a cloud product that simplifies creating and setting up network nodes.

  • Private network opportunities: Indicio has the capacity to develop and run private networks for any organization.

Our Enterprise-grade distributed ledger network is based on Hyperledger Indy and is composed of four professionally-managed networks:

  • Indicio TestNet: A platform for proof-of-concept for development and testing, supported by Indicio’s engineering team.

  • Indicio DemoNet: A platform to showcase demonstrations.

  • Indicio MainNet: A platform to run enterprise-grade, mission-critical identity products and services with full, professional support.

  • Indicio TempNet Service: A network for destructively testing performance, scaling, and security to discover weaknesses.

DID:WEBVH:

DID:WEBVH stands for DID:WEB with Verifiable History. It is an evolution of the DID:WEB method, designed to address some of its limitations by incorporating a verifiable history component, enhancing trust, and ensuring the integrity of decentralized identity systems. The DID:WEB method enables organizations to create decentralized identifiers (DIDs) that are resolvable using standard web infrastructure. These identifiers are hosted on web servers and can be accessed via HTTP(S), making them straightforward to implement and compatible with existing internet technologies.

Indicio supports DID:WEBVH as part of its commitment to offering flexible and interoperable decentralized identity solutions. By integrating DID:WEBVH, Indicio allows organizations to benefit from:

  • Plug-and-play root-of-trust options.

  • Enhanced security and transparency for DID management.

  • Compatibility with both centralized and decentralized ecosystems.

Key Features for DID:WEBVH

  1. Immutable Records: All changes to the DID Document are logged and cryptographically secured, preventing unauthorized alterations.

  2. Enhanced Trust: By providing a verifiable history, DID:WEBVH mitigates reliance on central web servers and enhances the trustworthiness of DID:WEB implementations.

  3. Interoperability: It retains compatibility with existing web technologies while adding layers of decentralized trust.

  4. Scalability: Useful for organizations that need a practical, scalable DID method but require enhanced accountability and transparency.
