Summary:
|
The purpose of this TR is to present a comprehensive overview for the Decentralized Identity Verification System (DIVS), a system aiming to bridge the trust gap in the digital world. The scope encompasses the creation of a framework that introduces the identity assurance and legal protection prevalent in the physical world into digital interactions. By leveraging secure cryptographic systems and aligning with established legal standards, DIVS aims to make online identity verification more secure, trustworthy, and user-friendly. It extends to various forms of credential or data verification, such as age, citizenship status, qualifications, and other human identity attributes, reflecting the multifaceted nature of identity in the physical world. This proposal outlines the key components, methodologies, and potential applications of DIVS, ensuring that online services become safer for users and more reliable for service providers.
In an era marked by rapid digital transformation and the growing importance of online interactions, the absence of a reliable trust mechanism has emerged as a significant challenge. Current digital identification systems often fall short of the trust level present in physical-world interactions, leading to issues such as fraud, AI impersonation, and other security concerns. This TR introduces the Decentralized Identity Verification System (DIVS), designed to fill this void by translating the identity assurance, security, and legal protection of the physical world into the digital space. Utilizing advanced cryptographic technology and a structure inspired by other muti-stakeholder organizations. DIVS seeks to provide a cohesive, secure, and universally recognized identity verification system. Whether it's verifying a user's age for restricted content, confirming citizenship for governmental services, or validating qualifications for employment, DIVS promises to make digital interactions more trustworthy and legally protected, enhancing the overall integrity of the online world.
