Design patterns, reference architectures, and best practices for implementing decentralized identity (DID) and verifiable credentials in regulated supply chain environments.
This repository explores how decentralized identity systems can support:
- Regulatory compliance – Verified identity for authority interactions
- Data sovereignty – User-controlled credentials without centralized gatekeepers
- Interoperability – Cross-border identity verification
- Privacy preservation – Selective disclosure and zero-knowledge proofs
Enabling logistics operators to prove identity and access rights to regulators without exposing sensitive data.
Components:
- Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)
- Verifiable Credentials (VCs)
- Selective disclosure mechanisms
Coordinating identity across carriers, forwarders, 3PLs, and regulatory bodies.
Key Considerations:
- Governance and trust root establishment
- Revocation and credential validity
- Cross-border recognition
Using zero-knowledge proofs and cryptographic commitments to verify claims without revealing underlying data.
Techniques:
- Selective disclosure
- JSON-LD with linked data proofs
- Zero-knowledge attestations
- Key management and custody models
- Credential revocation and expiration
- Attack vectors in identity systems
- Regulatory audit trail requirements
- W3C Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) Specification
- W3C Verifiable Credentials Data Model
- JSON-LD and linked data proofs
Maintained as part of ongoing research in decentralized compliance infrastructure.
