The pilot leverages cryptography, blockchain technology and biometrics and aims to allow cross-border travel without presenting physical documents, accelerating the flow of passengers through airports, improving passenger experience, and enabling authorities to better focus limited resources on security improvements.

> Much more can be done. For example, in the identity area, the Fabric team has developed an attribute-based identity verification mechanism called Identity Mixer that uses zero-knowledge proofs to demonstrate possession of digital signatures and private keys. Using this technology, Mixer allows you to prove you can do something without revealing who you are. On the other hand, if the goal is identity masking without attribute claims, the Ethereum community has been using a much simpler technique called Hierarchical Deterministic Wallet (HD-Wallet), which originated in the Bitcoin community so that you never reuse a digital identifier more than once. This eliminates any ability to correlate transactions over time, while all private keys are derived from a single root secret.\
> [...]\
> On the identity front, ideally the identities of an organization would not need to be re-built from scratch each time it joins a new consortium. Using a common decentralized identity system, whether its based on Hyperledger Indy or Ethereum uPort, or even based on links to legacy federated SSO systems such as ActiveDirectory or LDAP, makes this possible. Certainly more work is required to make this a reality.

This makes it easy to locate, access and share information without the farmers personal data being stored on the blockchain.

excerpt: <
Hyperledger began in 2015 when many different companies interested in blockchain technology realized they could achieve more by working together than by working separately.
These firms decided to pool their resources and create open-source blockchain technology that anyone could use. These far-sighted companies are helping blockchain to become a more popular and industry-standard technology.

>
> They can do this because exchanging verifiable digital credentials is at the heart of SSI. This ends the need for massive data silos, honeypots, and unsecured data repositories housed at countless corporations and organizations. Instead, anyone can hold secure and verifiable information about themselves, and through Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKP), minimize the information they decide to share with others. (ZKPs are an important type of advanced privacy-preserving cryptography now available in the open source community within the recently announced Hyperledger Aries project).

### Fabric
* [What is an Identity?](https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/release-2.2/identity/identity.html) ([1.1.0](https://hyperledger-fabric.readthedocs.io/en/v1.1.0-rc1/identity/identity.html))
> For an identity to be verifiable, it must come from a trusted authority. A membership service provider (MSP) is that trusted authority in Fabric. More specifically, an MSP is a component that defines the rules that govern the valid identities for this organization. The default MSP implementation in Fabric uses X.509 certificates as identities, adopting a traditional Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) hierarchical model (more on PKI later).
* [TrustID: A New Approach to Fabric User Identity Management](https://www.hyperledger.org/blog/2020/04/21/trustid-a-new-approach-to-fabric-user-identity-management)
> All the authentication and management of identities in the system is performed on-chain through an “Identity Chaincode.” This chaincode has the following parts:
>
> - Chaincode proxy: This receives and routes every TrustID authenticated transaction. Its responsible for authenticating users, interacting with the ID registries, and routing user calls to external chaincodes. It also implements the desired access policies by the different organizations.
> - User Registry: This stores every user DID. It implements basic setter and getter operations and enforces the desired access rights per organization.
> - Service Registry: This pays the registry role for services.
> - External service chaincodes: This ensures service chaincodes with whom users want to interact can be deployed in any channel. Once requests are successfully authenticated, the proxy chaincode is responsible for forwarding transactions to them.
### Sawtooth
* [Identity Transaction Processor Configuration File](https://sawtooth.hyperledger.org/docs/core/releases/latest/sysadmin_guide/configuring_sawtooth/identity_tp_configuration.html)
> The Identity transaction processor configuration file specifies the validator endpoint connection to use.
>
> If the config directory contains a file named identity.toml, the configuration settings are applied when the transaction processor starts. Specifying a command-line option will override the setting in the configuration file.
* [Identity Transaction Processor CLI (identity-tp)](https://sawtooth.hyperledger.org/docs/core/releases/1.0.0rc2/cli/identity-tp.html)
> The Identity transaction processor CLI, sawtooth-identity, handles on-chain permissioning for transactor and validator keys to streamline managing identities for lists of public keys.
* [identity-tp](https://sawtooth.hyperledger.org/docs/core/releases/latest/cli/identity-tp.html)
> The identity-tp command starts the Identity transaction processor, which handles on-chain permissioning for transactor and validator keys to streamline managing identities for lists of public keys.
