FAILOVER BETWEEN DECENTRALIZED IDENTITY STORES

Abstract:

A computing system is configured to receive user data from a user associated with a decentralized identifier (DID) and authenticate the user based on the DID via data recorded on a distributed ledger. In response to authenticating the user, the computing system stores the user data redundantly at each of a plurality of decentralized identity stores. One of the plurality of decentralized identity stores is designated as a primary decentralized identity store. In particular, redundantly storing the user data includes storing the user data at the primary decentralized identity store, and causing each remaining decentralized identity store in the plurality of decentralized identity stores to store the user data following the primary decentralized identity store.
