Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are related to the deauthorization of a private key associated with a decentralized identifier. While a user of a computing system is authenticated as a decentralized identifier, the system detects user input, and determines based on that user input that the private key associated with the decentralized identity is to be revoked. In response to this determination, the private key is deauthorized so that the private key cannot be used to perform actions for the decentralized identity at least until the private key is restored.

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.

Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein are related to computing systems and methods for a DID owner to select a permission scope for sharing DID-associated data. A set of permission scopes are accessed for DID-associated data. The DID-associated data is associated with a DID of a DID owner. The set of permission scopes define entities whom are to be given access to the DID-associated data by the DID owner. The DID owner is prompted to select a specific permission scope of the set of permission scopes for one or more of the DID-associated data. The selected permission scope is applied to the one or more of DID-associated data. The selected permission scope defines the specific entities that are to be given access to the one or more of the DID-associated data.

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.
