Description
Introduction
This course focuses on decentralized identity solutions and privacy-preserving systems in the context of blockchain technology. Participants will explore the principles of self-sovereign identity, the importance of user privacy, and the mechanisms that enable secure, decentralized identity management. The training will cover relevant protocols, frameworks, and tools, as well as real-world applications and case studies. By the end of the course, participants will be equipped to design and implement decentralized identity systems that prioritize privacy and user control.
Prerequisites
- Basic Understanding of Blockchain Technology (concepts of decentralization, consensus mechanisms, and transactions)
- Familiarity with Cryptographic Principles (hashing, digital signatures, and public/private key infrastructure)
- Experience with Web Development (HTML, JavaScript, or similar languages)
- Knowledge of Privacy Concepts (data protection laws and user consent)
