Next-Generation Verifiable Identity for Enterprises and Governing Bodies - Powered by Cardano Foundation

The curation of content and speakers was wholly managed by Cardano Foundation and does not reflect the views of the organisers or its staff.

As digital ecosystems evolve worldwide, the demand for secure, interoperable, and regulation-ready identity solutions has become business-critical. In this session, Thomas A. Mayfield introduces Veridian, the Cardano Foundation’s next-generation, enterprise-grade identity management platform.

Designed to meet the needs of financial institutions, governments, and multinational enterprises, Veridian supports LEI and vLEI integration, verifiable document signing, and secure credential management. The platform delivers these features while remaining flexible enough to accommodate regional privacy regulations through optional, light-touch distributed ledger technology (DLT).

Veridian is built with future-proof technology at its core, enabling:

• Global interoperability
• Post-quantum security
• Verifiable, auditable trust mechanisms
• Secure web integration for seamless deployment

This session is presented by:
