Developing Blockchain-Based Identity Applications

Overview

Data breaches. Identity theft. We read about these Internet issues all the time. Any identity data available online can be subject to theft. Simply put, the Internet is broken and it needs to be fixed.

Traditional identity management approaches are failing. A new approach to identity management is needed to ensure tamper-proof transactions and infrastructures. Enter the world of blockchain-based identity management. Hyperledger Aries, Indy and Ursa provide a foundation for distributed applications built on authentic data using a distributed ledger, purpose-built for decentralized identity. 

Together, they provide tools, libraries, and reusable components for creating and using independent digital identities rooted on blockchains or other distributed ledgers so that they are interoperable across administrative domains, applications, and any other “silo.”

The  Developing Blockchain-Based Identity Applications programme in collaboration with The Linux Foundation - LinuxFoundationX is a Professional Certificate. 

Job Outlook

• Blockchain-related jobs are in high demand. Blockchain is the top skill for 2020 (LinkedIn)
• This program is targeted towards developers interested in digital identities rooted on Blockchain.
• Learners will be able to create production-ready applications with Hyperledger Aries.
