In a world where imitating someone is easy and deepfake media has serious implications for society, trust is a big deal. We need to be able to trust that the person that we think we are talking to online or via VOIP is the person we think they are, or trust that a photo has not been modified post distribution by a bad actor. Cryptographically verified credentials (and the wallets that hold them) present a major breakthrough in the validating of individuals’ or companies’ identities in a completely irrefutable manner.
