Solid Secret Credential for Blockchain

 

Today's topic is this report - “How blockchain technology can create secure digital identities”  https://ibsintelligence.com/blogs/how-blockchain-technology-can-create-secure-digital-identities/

The title of this report reads “How blockchain technology can create secure digital identities”. I would have made it read “How blockchain technology, when it comes with solid secret credentials, can create secure digital identities”.  

 “How come?”  

 The lock authenticates the key and the key authenticates the lock. But neither the key nor the lock authenticates the person who holds the lock or key. It is imperative to check the secret credential of the person who claims to be the owner of the lock or key. It’s so plain and simple.   

“Conventional text passwords are too hard to manage and yet too vulnerable to abuse?”   

Then, why not look at non-text secret credentials?
