Learn how what protects you works.

Two modules, eight chapters, no jargon for its own sake. The first explains what a distributed ledger is and why it removes the need to trust an intermediary. The second, what a verified identity really means: what gets checked, what gets kept, what it is screened against and what a Citizen ID is for.

  1. MODULE 1

    Decentralization 101

    What a distributed ledger is and why it removes the need to trust an intermediary.

    • DLT fundamentals: blocks and chains of information
    • Nodes: the backbone of every decentralized network
    • Cryptography: symmetric vs. asymmetric, RSA/ECC and their limits
    • Peer consensus, without mining or wasted energy

  2. MODULE 2

    Verification 101

    What a verified identity really is: what gets checked, what gets kept, what it is screened against and what a Citizen ID is for.

    • Claimed identity versus verified identity
    • Minimization: checking without keeping everything
    • Sanctions screening: OFAC, the United Nations and country lists
    • The Citizen ID: the passport of the verified client
