Decentralized Identity Platform

A modern web application for managing decentralized digital identities, built with React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. This platform demonstrates the implementation of self-sovereign identity principles, allowing users to create and manage their digital identities in a decentralized manner.

Features

• Decentralized Identity Creation: Generate unique DIDs (Decentralized Identifiers) for users
• Identity Management: Create and manage digital identity profiles
• Public Key Infrastructure: Secure key pair generation for identity verification
• Credential Management: View and manage verifiable credentials
• Modern UI: Responsive and intuitive user interface built with Tailwind CSS
• Type Safety: Built with TypeScript for enhanced development experience

Technology Stack

• Frontend Framework: React 18
• Language: TypeScript
• Styling: Tailwind CSS
• Build Tool: Vite
• Icons: Lucide React
• Development Tools: ESLint, PostCSS, Autoprefixer

Architecture

The application follows a component-based architecture with clear separation of concerns:

• Components: Reusable UI components with specific responsibilities
• Types: TypeScript interfaces for type safety and documentation
• Utils: Helper functions for DID and key pair generation

Future Enhancements

• Integration with Cardano Atala PRISM for production-ready DID operations
• Secure key management and storage
• Verifiable credential issuance and verification
• Integration with blockchain networks
• Enhanced privacy features
• Mobile application support
