Certification Course
In our free Fundamentals of Decentralized Identity course, you'll learn how Verifiable Credentials, decentralized identifiers (DIDs), and blockchain work. Once you complete the course, you will receive a certificate as a Verifiable Credential.
Learning outcomes
Once you’re done with the course, you’ll be able to:
- Create a DID and issue a Verifiable Credential
- Explain what a Verifiable Credential is and what makes it verifiable
- Learn what decentralized identifiers are and how they work with Verifiable Credentials and blockchain
- Discover the two important privacy-preserving techniques employed by Verifiable Credentials
- Understand what the blockchain is and what exactly is recorded on the blockchain when you're using it for identity management
