Identity-centric interoperability with the Ceramic Protocol
0 likes692 views
The document outlines the Ceramic protocol, which enables the creation of verifiable, flexible documents that can represent decentralized identities (DIDs) and interact across blockchains. It describes how documents are structured, updated, and anchored, emphasizing the protocol's resilience, security, and interoperability features. The presentation highlights the role of 3ids in unifying blockchain accounts and encourages community engagement in building a decentralized web infrastructure.

- 3. Ceramic is a protocol for unstoppable documents. Documents are flexible, can store any kind of info. Updates encoded in IPLD, forming individual “doc chains”. Docs have permalinks and versioning is supported. Verifiable Documents Documents can reference other docs to form a graph. Network is public, permissionless, and censorship-resistant. Network is secure, resilient, and never down. Universal Graph Documents can be anchored in any blockchain. Updates are batched into a merkle tree providing scale. Nodes can choose their own persistence method. Configurable Anchoring Documents need to be signed by a DID. Any DID will work. 3ID is a complete DID system entirely built on Ceramic. 3IDs unifies accounts across all blockchains.

- 4. The Ceramic Network. - Nodes decide which blockchain to trust BLOCKCHAIN ANCHORS - No built in persistence (similar to ipfs) - Configurable backup DATA PERSISTENCE - Updates over libp2p - IPFS used to sync data - Only replicate relevant documents ONE NETWORK This presentation is released under a Creative Commons license.

- 5. How does it work? Decentralized Identity standard provides interoperability. Documents in Ceramic can represent DIDs. Documents in Ceramic can be owned by DIDs. DID InterPlanetary Linked Data, structured content addressable data. Can be used to represent any linked data structure. Content addressing provides native integrity checking. IPLD Peer-to-peer stack used by many decentralized systems. Peer discovery and message propagation. Works across many languages and environments. Libp2p Blockchain agnostic. Ethereum first. Used to determine ordering in Ceramic. 3IDs unifies accounts across all blockchains. Blockchain This presentation is released under a Creative Commons license. (CC BY-SA 4.0). SSIMeetup.org

- 7. Doctypes. Generic doctype that supports any content. Owned by one or multiple DIDs. Great for: Schemas, Policies, Profiles, Metadata, Pinsets Tiles DID method built on Ceramic. Lightweight & scalable. Secure key revocation. 3ID Used to link a blockchain account to a DID. Allows you to associate your accounts across blockchains to one common identifier Account Links A doctype defines the state transition logic used to validate if an update to a Ceramic document is valid.
