1. Introduction
Civic is a decentralized identity ecosystem that allows on-demand secure and low-cost access authenticated via blockchain. Through a digital identity platform, users can set up their own virtual identity and store it on the device along with personally identifiable information. This information will go through a verification process performed on the platform by the authenticator, and then ported to the blockchain where the service provider can access it with the appropriate permission of the user.
