Abstract:

Embodiments disclosed herein are related to making a determination that a wearable device that is configured to host or access a DID management module is in contact with the skin of a DID owner. A determination is then made that the DID owner is authorized to use a DID that is associated with the DID management module. Finally, one or more DID-related functions are performed using the DID that is associated with the DID management module by communicating with a second computing system that is associated with a second DID. The wearable device allows the one or more DID-related functions to be performed in a portable and secure manner.
