Digital identity is certainly not a new challenge. Since the beginning of the online revolution, the secure validation of the real identity of people in the digital environment has presented itself as a problem – both for users, who have seen their privacy and control over their personal data eliminated and for companies, who are constantly suffering the cost of inefficient identification and repeated security breaches. With VIDchain, we offer a decentralized Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) based on Blockchain, helping people to regain control over their digital identity and facilitate secure user access to online services.
