Image Removed Status Status colour BlueGreen title IncubationGRADUATED CII Badge Image Modified Description Distributed ledger purpose-built for decentralized identity Hyperledger Indy provides tools, libraries, and reusable components for providing digital identities rooted on blockchains or other distributed ledgers so that they are interoperable across administrative domains, applications, and any other silo. Indy is interoperable with other blockchains or can be used standalone powering the decentralization of identity.

Hyperledger Indy provides tools, libraries, and reusable components for providing digital identities rooted on blockchains or other distributed ledgers so that they are interoperable across administrative domains, applications, and any other silo. 

Indy is in active development across the following areas.: 

Distributed Ledger

• indy-node

• indy-plenum

Client Tools

Note: We are in the process of moving our Client Tools work to Hyperledger Aries. We recommend engaging with both communities for the time being if you interested in building applications on top of an Indy network.

• indy-sdk

  • The Indy SDK has been deprecated in favor of the Indy and Aries shared libraries.  Please refer to the Deprecation Notice for information on the replacement libraries.

• indy-agent (superseded by project aries)

Shared Components

• indy-hipe

  indy-crypto

• ursa

Key Characteristics

• Distributed ledger purpose-built for decentralized identity

• Correlation-resistant by design

• DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers) that are globally unique and resolvable (via a ledger) without requiring any centralized resolution authority

• Pairwise Identifiers create secure, 1:1 relationships between any two entities

• Verifiable Claims are Credentials in an interoperable format for exchange of digital identity attributes and relationships, currently in the standardization pipeline at the W3Cthe W3C 

• Zero Knowledge Proofs which prove that some or all of the data in a set of Claims is true without revealing any additional information, including the identity of the Prover

Documentation

• An index of Indy documentation can be found here.

• The documentation of the nitty gritty of the underpinnings of the code is located in the “docs” folder of each repo.

• Note: Indy Documentation is in the process of migrating to: indy.readthedocs.io
