Northern Block is a Canadian-based technology provider that facilitates digital transformation through digital trust using self-sovereign identity (SSI) technologies, standards and principles. Through its leading NB Orbit Platform, organizations can deploy digital credentialing ecosystems, become credential issuers, accept digital credentials within workflows and use a variety of digital wallets and agents to connect and exchange credentials. Northern Block participates in the open source, standards and conformance criteria communities. We are active in the Hyperledger Foundation (Aries, Indy, ACA-Py, AFJ, Bifold), Trust Over IP foundation (ToIP), Decentralized Identifier Foundation (DIF), the Digital Identity and Authentication Council of Canada (DIACC - PCTF), and the CIO Strategy Council. Through our participation at these levels, we are made aware of adoption of new standards in the interoperable verifiable credential space as it pertains to the Hyperledger Aries/Indy stack and beyond.
