A Decentralized Key Management Infrastructure (DKMI) is essential to any SSI implementation. DKMI is the cryptographic infrastructure upon which the necessary authentication keys are exchanged between SSI actors

DKMI4SSI
In 2020, a new type of ultrasecure, ledger agnostic DKMI made its way through the SSI community: Key Event Receipt Infrastructure (KERI). Currently being developed by DIF (Decentralized Identity Foundation) KERI is making its first appearance in real world applications as the 1st truly & fully decentralized identity system.
With KERI Ecosystem components developers of SSI solutions will be able to:
* move between networks and ledgers with your identifiers (can work with blockchain and non-blockchained networks)
* delegate identifier to another identity (no matter on which network or system it was created)
* provide key provenance log for production ready Verifiable Credential management
* recovery from key lost through pre-rotation event
* use your identifiers at scale
* resolve any identifier through Distributed Hash Table algorithms without relying on centralize resolver or network.
* operate with any type of Verifiable Credentials across network
