Project Plan - GVCR: Secure Verifiable Credential Registries (VCR) for GitHub & GitLab
- Sarvesh Shinde
Abstract
Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is an alternate approach to digital identity that individuals control of their digital identities. The three pillars of the SSI ecosystem are the Decentralised Identifiers protocol (DIDs), Distributed Ledger Technology (or Blockchain) and Verifiable Credentials (VC).
This project aims to implement a GitHub/GitLab based Verifiable Credential Registry (VCR), accordingly named as GVCR. DRMan is a CLI based tool, currently under development, that aims to implement and provide for a GVCR.
