Reducing identity breach impact

Data minimization and verifiable credentials reduce how much sensitive data is copied — and how much is exposed if something goes wrong.

Every copied identity record is a new breach target. By issuing verifiable credentials and minimizing unnecessary storage of sensitive identity data, organizations can reduce breach impact: there is simply less sensitive data duplicated across systems. Combined with revocation and tamper-evident logging, this approach is designed to reduce identity-theft risk and make tampering easier to detect.
