Distributed ledger technology (DLT) provides a trusted infrastructure that is useful for enabling decentralized identity management systems for the exchange of identity attributes and identity information.

This Recommendation provides an overview of using DLT for decentralized identity management. The scope of the work includes:

– a brief overview of using distributed ledgers for the management of identity and identity data,

– discussion on security benefits of decentralized identity,

– guidance concerning necessary controls that should be used to mitigate threats to identity data.
