In this recipe, we will explore the design and intention for the wallet, Decentralized Identifier (DID), pool, and ledger transaction in Indy network:
- Wallet: Hyperledger Indy manages identity with a new approach, Decentralized Key Management System (DKMS), which manages identities on distributed ledger technologies such as the blockchain network. DKMS is different from the conventional public key infrastructure (PKI)-based approach to manage identities per certificate, as issued by the centralized CA. In Hyperledger Indy, identities are self-sovereign and are managed by each participant.
