Why IOTA

IOTA redefines digital identity, combining privacy, security, and scalability. Built on W3C-compliant standards, it enhances trust and simplifies identity management for people, organizations and devices.

Solving Identity Challenges with DLT

Secure, decentralized, and user-controlled solutions

IOTA Identity ensures privacy, data availability, and trust, empowering people, organizations, and devices to securely interact without intermediaries. Aligned with global standards and seamless verifiability, it bridges the gap between digital and real-world identities.

How it Works

One framework. Any identity

Designed for individuals, organizations, and devices, IOTA Identity acts as a unifying layer of trust between everyone and everything. It streamlines identity verification and management by defining three key roles: Holders, Issuers, and Verifiers.

Holders

Holders are the owners of digital identities, maintaining full control over their data. They decide what information to share, how much to share, and with whom, ensuring complete autonomy and privacy.

Issuers

Issuers are trusted entities or authorities that create and provide credentials to holders. Credentials can include any type of document, such as identity cards, health records, diplomas, or certifications.

Verifiers

Verifiers are third parties that need to confirm the authenticity of a holder's data. They can validate any type of information, such as identity, age, qualifications, or other credentials.

Key Capabilities

Zero-Knowledge Credentials

Giving you unmatched privacy and control over your data

The IOTA Foundation, in partnership with the LINKS Foundation, has introduced privacy-preserving selective disclosure credentials to IOTA Identity. This feature enables users to share only specific parts of their credentials, ensuring full control over their information and its recipients.

Supports two selective disclosure implementations

Selective Disclosure Based on JSON Web Token

The issuer is required to decide which credential fields can be disclosed by a holder which can disclose prepared concealed values to verifiers as needed.
