Abstract
A processor-implemented method facilitates identity exchange in a decentralized setting. A first system performs a pseudonymous handshake with a second system that has created an identity asset that identifies an entity. The second system has transmitted the identity asset to a third system, which is a set of peer computers that support a blockchain that securely maintains a ledger of the identity asset. The first system transmits a set of pseudonyms to the third system, where the set of pseudonyms comprises a first pseudonym that identifies the first system, a second pseudonym that identifies a user of the second system, and a third pseudonym that identifies the third system. The first system receives the identity asset from the third system, which securely ensures a validity of the identity asset as identified by the first pseudonym, the second pseudonym, and the third pseudonym.
