Charter

An Identity is a dynamic collection of sets of attributes attached to an entity. In order to accrete trust and be useful for authorization, these attributes must be verifiably attested by other entities. It is a primary building block for Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT).

The purpose of the Identity Working Group is to discuss, research, and document ways to capture, store, transmit and use Identities on the DLT, specifically for the projects under the Hyperledger umbrella. The Identities can be of nodes that participate in the running of the DLT or entities that transact on the DLT.

Please see Charter for the full text of the charter.

Scope

The scope is limited to the various lifecycle events and use of Identity needed to securely participate in the Hyperledger Project DLT implementations.  The group will focus on the functional details first, and subsequently work towards a reference implementation.
