Abstract:

Embodiments disclosed herein are related to computing systems and methods for generating one or more pseudonymous names for use by a Decentralized Identifier (DID) owner when interacting with third party entities. An indication is received from a DID owner who is associated with a DID. The indication indicates that the DID owner desires to interact with various third party entities. A list is generated of pseudonymous names that are to be used in place of the DID as the DID owner interacts with the one or more third party entities. A selection is received for a specific one of the generated pseudonymous names. The selected specific pseudonymous name is bound to the DID so that the selected specific pseudonymous name is used during the interaction.
