Developers interested in an extra decentralized web platform
About Web5
Building an extra decentralized web that puts you in control of your data and identity. The web democratized the exchange of information, but it's missing a key layer: identity. We struggle to secure personal data with hundreds of accounts and passwords we can’t remember. On the web today, identity and personal data have become the property of third parties. Web5 brings decentralized identity and data storage to your applications. It lets devs focus on creating delightful user experiences, while returning ownership of data and identity to individuals.

Ontology
Ontology supports identity authentication and data collaboration between users, vehicles, and third parties. Data can only be accessed, used and stored with the consent of the owner. Through the Ontology Trust Framework and Self-Sovereign Data Storage, a number of cryptographic algorithms are implemented to protect user identity and data privacy security. Each data exchange operation requires authorization and selective exchange can be achieved through authorization protocols and cryptographic algorithms. Traceability, authorization and authentication of personal data is possible through blockchain. In some cases, we integrate TEE technology to support data analysis and processing without privacy disclosure. It's time to reclaim control of your digital identity. ONT ID enables autonomous control of your private data. You decide if and when your data is accessible by others.

Hyperledger Indy
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. 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 interoperable format for exchange of digital identity attributes and relationships currently in the standardization pipeline at the 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.

VIDchain
Digital identity is not a new challenge. Since the beginning of the online revolution, validating with complete confidence the real identity of people in a digital environment has been a problem both for users, who have had their privacy and control over their personal data removed and for companies that have suffered the cost of inefficient and constant identification security failures. With VIDchain, we offer a decentralized self-rule identity (SSI) service based on Blockchain to provide people control over their identity and facilitate secure user access to online services. It improves processes and reduces identity verification costs. It implements secure identification processes and improves anti-fraud measures in compliance with eIDAS and GDPR. Based on standards that eliminate the need for hundreds of credentials. You can easily validate your digital identity with anyone you want.
