Abstract
Methods, systems, and media for recovering identity information in verifiable claims-based systems are provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises: determining that a graph of interdependencies between a plurality of issuers and a plurality of claims for a holder is to be reconstructed; restoring a root credential; transmitting a plurality of messages that are each signed with the root credential to a plurality of backup providers, wherein each of the plurality of backup providers has a portion of the graph of interdependencies between the plurality of issuers and the plurality of claims for the holder stored in a storage device; receiving a plurality of graph portions from at least a portion of the plurality of backup providers in response to each of the portion of the plurality of backup providers determining that the root credential is a correct root credential corresponding to the holder; and reconstructing the graph of interdependencies between the plurality of issuers and the plurality of claims for the holder using the plurality of received graph portions.
