Cross-Carrier Identity System
(CCIS)
CCIS is an open blockchain-based platform that enables identification and credential verification and document authentication services that currently operate within their own silos.
Overview
Currently, identity-verification systems rely on centralized databases where individuals must trust a centralized authority or minority group to accurately identify and authenticate credentials. To participate in those systems, individuals must register at each identity-issuer’s silo system such that the identity-verification process is usually fragmented and cannot be easily verified.
In contrast, CCIS provides a blockchain-based solution operated by independent CBSG Consortium participating members under a CCIS Cross-Carrier Consensus with carrier-grade reliability. CCIS eliminates the need for a centralized authority to verify credentials. Instead, CCIS participating members jointly provide a platform that allows identity-trust authorities to issue credentials that can be easily identified by many organizations.
