Idsora

Idsora is a fictional open-source software project designed to illustrate a modern approach to digital identity management and secure data exchange. The concept combines ideas from decentralized identifiers, verifiable credentials, and policy-driven access control to show how individuals and organizations might share information with consent and privacy by design.

In the hypothetical idsora, users hold portable identities expressed as Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) and issue verifiable credentials to prove attributes without exposing underlying data. The system supports consent workflows, selective disclosure, and cross-domain interoperability, enabling use cases such as access to services, medical records, and employment verification.

The architecture is modular and pluggable. A identity layer handles DID methods and key management, a credential layer issues and verifies VCs, and a data layer manages encrypted storage and secure data exchange. A policy engine enforces authorization rules, while an API gateway and SDKs expose standardized interfaces for applications. The project emphasizes privacy-preserving techniques, including client-side data processing and encrypted data transfer.

As a fictional example, idsora is described with an open-source governance model and permissive licensing to encourage collaboration. It is used in discussions of interoperable identity ecosystems, data governance, and responsible data sharing.
