Decentralized Identity

  • Self-sovereign
  • Cryptographically verifiable
  • Person vs. profiles

 

  • No more passwords, no more social logins
  • W3C working group
  • 27 identity provider methods

Define your App Configuration:

  • Scope
  • App domain
  • Redirect path
  • Manifest path

Sign In

yarn add blockstack
import {UserSession} from 'blockstack'

const userSession = new UserSession()

Provide a sign in button

Sign In

document.getElementById('signin').onclick = () => {
  userSession.redirectToSignIn()
}

And call redirectToSignIn()

  • The domain name your app is served from.
  • The permissions and data your app is requesting.
  • Your app's name.
  • Your app's logo.

   // Decodes the token and retrieves user data.
   userSession.handlePendingSignIn()
.then((userData) => {
       // Refresh main page once signed in.
       window.location = window.origin 
     })

  • Diversity in locations
  • Distributed vs. self-controlled

 

Server-less apps

User based (S3, Azure,..)

Content based (IPFS, Storj, SSB, ..)

Address based (Gaia)
