Verifiable Claims & Anonymous Credentials: digital, distributed and anonymous.

A Verifiable Claim allows one person to digitally express claims in such a way that another person can verify the claim in a distributed and (possibly) anonymous yet secured way.

But the biggest trick is that Verifiable Claims can be made without releasing personal information on the person about which the claims are being made.

This means that a visitor to a car rental site can claim to have a valid driver’s license and a valid insurance, and that the car rental service can then verify these claims without ever needing a third party (e.g. notary, bank…) nor even the name or the address of the person to verify these claims.
