Core Technical Components (1/3)
Decentralised Identifier (DID) Management
On-Chain Identity Storage: SafleID identities are stored directly on the blockchain, ensuring immutability and security. Each SafleID serves as a unique identifier that is anchored to the blockchain, providing a tamper-proof record of identity. Unlike traditional identities which are stored and controlled by central registries (like Facebook, instagram, linkedin) and are always at risk of identity-theft, digital impersonation, and other attack vectors.
Mapping Human-Readable Names to Machine-Readable Identifiers
Name-to-Address Mapping: SafleID functions as a mapping system between human-readable names (e.g., charles) and machine-readable identifiers such as Ethereum addresses(0xAD82bAfdB42B2984E7E7dB3c766dD5bB4588872a) . This mapping is crucial for simplifying blockchain interactions and reducing the complexity associated with using raw hexadecimal addresses.
Address Abstraction: By abstracting complex addresses into simple, memorable names, SafleID represents the first step in chain abstraction. This address abstraction layer improves usability and accessibility for end-users, making blockchain applications more user-friendly.
Extensible DID Framework
Future-Proof Design: SafleID is designed with extensibility in mind. The underlying framework allows for the SafleID system to evolve into a fully-fledged Decentralised Identifier (DID) system that complies with W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) standards and policies. This ensures that SafleID remains relevant and adaptable to future developments in decentralised identity management.
W3C Compliance: In the future, SafleID can be extended to meet all the requirements set forth by the W3C DID specifications, providing a robust, interoperable and self sovereign identity solution that can be used across various applications and platforms.
Security and Decentralisation
Cryptographic Security: SafleID leverages advanced cryptographic techniques to secure identity data and interactions. Each identity is protected by the underlying blockchain’s security mechanisms, ensuring data integrity and preventing unauthorised alterations.
