Abstract

Techniques are disclosed relating to determining identity information of a user associated with a blockchain address. An application of a first user can receive information indicative of a blockchain address of a second user. This information either includes or is usable to retrieve a certificate of the second user, which is signed by a private key of a certificate authority (CA), and which includes identity information of the second user. The application of the first user can verify the certificate using a public key of the CA. The application of the first user can then cause identity information of the second user to be included in a user interface presented to the first user. This information allows the first user to have more information about the second user before commencing an irreversible blockchain transaction with that user.
