Running Hyperledger Aries in the Browser with Hyperledger AnonCreds
- July 18, 2023
- During this interactive session, we will deep-dive into the capabilities of Hyperledger Aries, an open-source project aimed at managing digital identities rooted in blockchain or other distributed ledger technology. Aries includes a shared cryptographic wallet for blockchain clients, along with a set of protocols for enabling decentralized identity. It offers tools, libraries, and reusable components for creating and using independent digital identities based on verifiable credentials, using the power of modern cryptography.
