Roles in the SSI framework

The most convenient way to depict the SSI framework participants is via the so-called SSI Triangle. Below is just a brief introduction of the core participants:

• Issuers: Trusted entities authorized to issue VCs. This could include universities issuing diplomas, governments providing licenses, or employers verifying employment status, etc.

• Holders: Individuals or entities who own their DIDs and VCs stored securely in their digital wallets.

• Verifiers: Parties who rely on VCs to confirm an identity claim. This could be an employer verifying work experience for a job application or a bank verifying age for opening an account.

Empeiria’s End-to-End Verifiable Data Infrastructure (EVDI) offers tools for all three key participants of the SSI Triangle:

Issuer: Empeiria‘s seamless integration solutions, enable issuers to easily integrate SSI into their current data infrastructure. This integration simplifies credential issuance, making it more efficient and secure.

Holder: Empeiria places Holders in control of their data. Empe Wallet is a convenient and secure place to store verifiable credentials, which can be shared privately and securely with Verifiers.

Verifier: Using Empeiria’s easily deployable tool, verifiers can quickly check the validity of verifiable credentials, without accessing sensitive information or contacting the issuer. This makes verifying information easier and builds trust between verifiers and holders.

Overall, Empeiria’s EVDI provides the participants of the SSI Triangle with tools for credential issuance, storage, sharing, and verification. It streamlines data verification, empowers individuals with greater control over their data, and enables Web3 utility for organizations.
