From a technical standpoint, IOTA Identity, which uses the Rust programming language, implements decentralized digital identity compliant with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Decentralized Identifiers (DID) and Verifiable Credentials standards.
This tool facilitates the creation, management and verification of digital identities in a secure manner, and enables the issuance of verifiable credentials, which increases trust in digital interactions.
The recent release reflects a focus on user needs-driven development, as we detailed in ETHNews, incorporating feedback from contributors such as ImpierceTech. The early integration with Shimmernet is a move towards more advanced solutions in the digital identity sector.
