Here are some ideas on how and when it is valuable to use nChain Identity. Also, an insight into the future features and ideas we are planning to support in our products in the following versions.

  • Single player view The single-player view is for the service to have the capacity of creating a single source of truth for issuing VCs attributes and status. (e.g., for iGaming, a player marker of harms shared between multiple gaming platforms), Allowing a single individual to have multiple certifications from different certificate authorities under the same identity or identifier. Also, allowing users to obfuscate data and selectively disclose the required information.

  • Verify once validate many.

    • Verify once validated, many are for issuers and VCs authorities to provide a certified attribute of the same individual to multiple businesses or organizations.

    • The method proposed that each individual create a secure secret that will be protected and linked to an individual unique identifier (Such as biometrics, MFA, or a pre-determined unique number or such requirements that will be local to each jurisdiction). Based on that requirement, the user is mapped with the root key. From this point onwards, the user can be issued Verifiable credentials based on the business case. The user software will create an access token and submit it to the corresponding KYC entity to issue a new Verifiable Credential, which associates the user KYC dataset with the public key. This information, then, when published on the blockchain, becomes a public registry of an individual's identity without revealing any private KYC data for that individual.

  • Single Patient view. The single patient view is for the service that can create a single source of truth for certification attributes and status. (e.g., for patients in hospitals, medical facilities, laboratories, and pharmacies shared between multiple gaming platforms. It allows a single individual to have multiple certifications from different certificate authorities under the same identity or identifier. Also, it allows users to obfuscate data and selectively disclose the required information.

  • Digital Twin. Digital Twin is intended for collectables and assets of value trading and certification. It creates a single source of truth for certification attributes and status (e.g., collectables, art, wine, cars, etc.), Allowing individuals and businesses to verify authenticity and ownership. It also allows the CA to obfuscate data if necessary and selectively disclose the required information.

  • On-chain notarisation The future roadmap also considers tracing individuals' certification usage with nChain Events, which provides data integrity to the data and documentation request, management, checking, and validation process. Events ES can certify and guarantee data integrity for identity verification, validation, and management. process, including tracking a particular identity's certificate history based on a use case.
