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 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 , 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.
