Abstract
Techniques include receiving, at a sensor, a request for authentication of an identity; determining, based on a distributed ledger, a dynamic credibility score for the identity; determining whether the dynamic credibility score for the identity can be validated by consensus by at least a subset of distributed verification services, based on whether the dynamic credibility score for the identity is within a range of variance from one or more credibility scores for the identity determined by the subset of the plurality of distributed verification services; and determining, based on whether the dynamic credibility score for the identity can be validated by consensus, whether to authorize the identity to perform the action in the blockchain network.
