* [ENS](https://github.com/nexusdev/ENS) is the “Ethereal Namespace”, a contract system and set of conventions to form a hierarchical namespace.
* [Ethereum Name Service](https://ens.domains/) is a naming system based on Ethereum smart contracts that provides registration of human-readable names, as well as resolution to service and resource identifiers. A name is registered by using an Ethereum dapp to enter an auction process for the desired name.
* [Evernym](http://www.evernym.com/) is developing a public permissioned distributed ledger called [Sovrin](http://www.sovrin.org/), which is designed specifically for "self-sovereign identity" and privacy-preserving cryptography. It is fully open source (FOSS) as project [Indy](https://www.hyperledger.org/projects/indy) within the Hyperledger family. Multiple white papers explain the the ideas and technologies behind it.
* [ExistenceID](http://www.existenceid.com/index.html) is a secure digital identity system for safe storage and sharing of valuable identity documents. A private identity capsule rates users’ total identity so they can prove that they are real. Only users choose who and when can access different parts of their identity. At the same time, ExistenceID has zero knowledge of users’ personal account.
* [Guardtime’s BLT](https://guardtime.com/technology/blt-technology) – Blockchain Standard for Digital Identity – is an authentication and signature protocol meant to replace RSA as the standard for digital signatures. In contrast to RSA’s reliance on quantum-vulnerable asymmetric key cryptography, BLT is based on Guardtime’s quantum-secure Keyless Signature Infrastructure (KSI) technology, which uses only hash function cryptography.
* At Ethereum’s DEVCON ONE conference, a [talk](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QpaTOvAhLR4) on blockchain, digital identity, and public key infrastructure was given.
* [Bitnation](https://bitnation.co/) seeks to establish the concept of “world citizenship” through identity registration on the blockchain. The project is collaborating with the Estonian e-Residency program and also has a focus on offering ["blockchain emergency IDs"](https://refugees.bitnation.co/) to refugees.
* Linux foundation [hyper ledger](https://www.hyperledger.org/) project looking to develop a cross-industry open standard with many big companies participating.

HYPR enhances the user experience by allowing you to choose from voice, face, touch and eye recognition. Our decentralized authentication platform allows enterprises to leverage biometrics without worrying about hackers attacking a biometric server or centralized password database.
* [ID2020](http://id2020.org/) seeks to provide every child born after 2020 with a self sovereign digital identity, which helps reduce risks of trafficking and drive digital inclusion.
* [Shocard](https://shocard.com/) is an early stage company developing an “identity platform” built on blockchain.
* A [research team](http://mm.aueb.gr/) at Athens University of Economics and Business is working on “information-centric” networking and is exploring the use of blockchain technology for “content names”.

The platform allows to create encrypted digital identities to substitute dozens of usernames and passwords while offering greater security features would save enterprises, institutions, governments and customers, time, energy and money. A golden record for identity which would work not only at a bank level but across the globe in all electronic environments.
* [Cambridge Blockchain LLC](http://cambridge-blockchain.com/) is developing its digital identity software with several leading global financial institutions, with commercial deployments planned for late 2017. The company’s distributed architecture resolves the competing challenges of transparency and privacy, resulting in faster customer onboarding, lower costs, and enhanced compliance through a single, trusted and consistent view of customer reference data. Cambridge Blockchain has won FinTech competitions including BBVA Open Talent 2016 and the Santander InnoVentures Distributed Ledger Challenge. Cambridge Blockchain graduated from the 2016 FinTech Innovation Lab – run by the Partnership Fund for New York City and Accenture.

* [Cryptid](http://cryptid.xyz/) eliminates the possibility of counterfeit identification by adding factors of identification and encryption. Cryptid takes the data provided in the form and package it into a compact format readable by our systems and generate your Cryptid identification data. All of the data is encrypted with the provided password after which it is permanently transferred to the blockchain. The customer is then given a unique identification number that points to the information on the block chain and can be stored on almost anything from magnetic stripes to QR codes.
* [Identifi](http://identifi.org/) is a blockchain-based startup creating address book where users can link their personal profiles and identifiers to form a trusted identity.

OIX’s OIXNet is a registry. It is an official online and publicly-accessible repository of documents and information relating to identity systems and identity system participants. Referred to as a “registry,” it functions as an official and centralized source of such documents and information, much like a government-operated recorder of deeds. That is, individuals and entities can register documents and information with the OIXnet Registry to provide notice of their contents to the public, and members of the public seeking access to such documents or information can go to that single authoritative location to find them.
* [KYC-Chain](http://kyc-chain.com/) is a novel platform built over the convenience and security of DLT, allowing users to manage their digital identity securely, while businesses and financial institutions are able to manage customer data in a reliable and easy manner.

* [Keyp](https://keyp.io/) does not use blockchain, but still offers a self-sovereign digital identity infrastructure. A resource asks the user for specific attributes, which are stored in a wallet on a secure device. The wallet redirects the request to a specific "authenticator" that can validate the attribute.
* The [I/O Digital Foundation](https://iodigital.io/) offers a Proof-of-Stake blockchain called Decentralised Input Output Name Server (DIONS). It will enable applications such as identity and alias registration, storage of legal documents, key exchange, and encrypted messaging.
* [Dominode](https://dominode.com/) is building a self-sovereign identity solution based on IPFS and public blockchains that focuses on identity for professionals in regulated industries. Identity data can be verified to be true and is fully portable.
* [ShoCard](https://shocard.com/) is a digital identity that protects consumer privacy and is as easy to understand and use as showing one’s driver’s license. It’s optimized for mobile and so secure that even a bank can rely on it. A user’s identity is encrypted, hashed and then written to the blockchain, where it can be called up when needed. Users would, in effect, give banks temporary access to the private side of this blockchain record in order to verify identity. Once that is done, the bank creates its own record that can be consulted in the future to determine that a certain Joe Smith is really Joe Smith.
* [UniquID](http://uniquid.com/) provides secure identity management, integrated with fingerprint and other biometry on personal devices. Ready to be deployed on custom hardware, servers, personal computers or smartphones and tablets, UniquID Wallet runs also on battery and low-powered devices, providing integrity and interoperability at the edge of one’s infrastructure.
