Abstract
Technologies are described herein for improvements in the security of verifiable credentials. A method can include requesting, by a first decentralized identifier (DID) associated with a decentralized web node (DWN), a verifiable credential from a second DID, wherein the second DID is included in a pool of DIDs. The method also includes receiving, from the pool of DIDs and by the first DID, the verifiable credential. The method also includes receiving, from a third DID and at the first DID, a request to verify information associated with the first DID. The method also includes determining, at the DWN, that the verifiable credential includes the information requested by the third DID. The method also includes presenting, by the DWN, at least a portion of the verifiable credential to the third DID in response to determining that the verifiable credential includes the information.
