Introducing Digital Trust Infrastructure: The Foundation for the New Digital Economy
The rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) has exposed enterprises to a massive new attack surface. This report, Securing Trust in the Internet of Things (IoT), outlines the shift from vulnerable device-centric security to an identity-centric strategy built on Decentralized Identity (DI). Learn how using Verifiable Credentials (VCs) and Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) on a public digital infrastructure like Cardano enables zero-trust manufacturing networks, verifiable machine-to-machine communication, and a secure, scalable foundation for Industry 4.0.
