TrustStack’s platform empowers organizations with decentralized identity management by issuing and managing did:web identifiers. Our solution supports secure key rotations, verifiable credential signing, and the issuance of digital product passports, making it a comprehensive offering for modern digital identity requirements.

What Is a DID?

A Decentralized Identifier (DID) is a globally unique identifier that is fully under the control of the identity owner. Unlike traditional identifiers managed by centralized authorities, DIDs are:

  • Self-Sovereign: Owners can control and manage their identifiers independently.
  • Cryptographically Secure: Rely on public key infrastructure (PKI) for authentication and integrity.
  • Interoperable: Can be used across various systems and platforms without centralized intermediaries.

DIDs form the foundation of verifiable digital identities, enabling users to prove ownership and interact securely in decentralized networks.

Issuing did:web Identifiers

TrustStack issues did:web identifiers, a DID method that leverages existing web infrastructure for resolution and verification. The key benefits include:

  • Ease of Integration: Leverage existing web domains and certificates to issue verifiable identities.
  • Familiarity: Organizations can use their own domain names as part of their decentralized identity strategy.
  • Interoperability: Seamlessly integrates with web standards and widely adopted identity frameworks.

Our did:web identifiers are issued with cryptographic keys that are used to sign and verify digital artifacts, ensuring that all interactions are secure and tamper-proof.

DIDs, Verifiable Credentials and Digital Product Passports

One of the core strengths of our platform is the ability to use DIDs for creating and signing:

  • Verifiable Credentials (VCs): Digital certificates that prove certain attributes about an entity (e.g., certifications, memberships, qualifications). Each VC is signed with a DID’s private key, ensuring authenticity and integrity.
  • Digital Product Passports: Comprehensive digital records that accompany products throughout their lifecycle. These passports provide traceability, compliance verification, and transparency by cryptographically signing and linking product data. By anchoring credentials and product information to a DID, organizations can offer a high level of trust and security while streamlining verification processes across industries.
