EBSI FAQ
Decentralised identifiers (DIDs) are a new type of identifier that enables verifiable, decentralised digital identity. A DID refers to any subject (e.g., a person, organization, thing, data model, abstract entity, etc.) as determined by the controller of the DID. The design enables the controller of a DID to prove control over it without requiring permission from any other party. DIDs are URIs that associate a DID subject with a DID document allowing trustable interactions associated with that subject. They are based on the Self-sovereign identity paradigm.
As we build the European regulatory framework, in the transition from paper to digital, a key question arises: how to share official documents, called ‘evidences’ or ‘credentials’ in a way that can be trusted?
Blockchain changes the traditional pattern of data sharing due to its distributed nature, as opposed to a centralised information exchange protocol. Blockchain can act as a point of truth that supports the verification of the entities involved in the transaction and the authenticity of information without requiring real-time access to the source of the information.
EBSI's objective is leveraging on blockchain to accelerate the creation of cross-border services for public administrations and their ecosystems to verify information and to make services more trustworthy.
The European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) is a network of distributed blockchain nodes across Europe. It is the first EU-wide blockchain infrastructure, driven by the public sector, in full respect of European values and regulations.
The EBSI nodes composing the network support multiple protocols (pluggable protocols) and a full set of APIs. The main protocols supported at the moment are Hyperledger Besu (with IBFT 2.0 consensus) and Fabric. See EBSI’s architecture in more details.
