In this session, Michelle and Nate will provide an overview and demo of Kiva’s use of Hyperledger Aries which allows people to extend existing applications with the capabilities that SSI credentials provide. This software was used for a pilot by the government of Sierra Leone to verify the identities of bank customers and grant access to digital identity wallets held in escrow on their behalf. Our initiative, Kiva Protocol, was awarded the Global Prize for the 2020 World Bank Mission Billion Challenge. This open-source system is available on GitHub and this session will show you how to get started. Kiva Protocol packages together tools out of Hyperledger Aries, Hyperledger Ursa, and Hyperledger Indy to digitize the civil registry and enable an ecosystem of standards-compliant verifiable credentials.
