Abstract
Failover between decentralized identity stores in the context of there being multiple decentralized identity stores that are each under the control of a single decentralized identity to store data belonging to or regarding the decentralized identity. Third parties can use the decentralized identity to at least conditionally access the data of the primary decentralized identity store. However, in response to detecting a failover event, one of the remaining decentralized identity stores is promoted as the new primary decentralized identity store. As part of this promotion, the new primary decentralized identity store replaces the old primary decentralized identity store as being the decentralized identity store that is accessed using the decentralized identity.
