Decentralized identities enable an ecosystem where verifiable credentials from trusted and well-known issuers can be used to bootstrap user accounts in a self service manner. This can improve both user experience as well as the security of the process as it eliminates the need for manual verification steps and the distribution of account details over insecure channels.

The Curity demo wallet is pre-configured with three example credential issuers: car insurance, flight ticket and university degree. The wallet can request credentials from this list.
