The post IOTA Praised in Peer-Reviewed Study for Leading Digital ID Innovation appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

According to a research report, IOTA has excelled in removing intermediaries, giving users full control, and encouraging self-sovereign identities. Its simplicity and openness are also reported to outshine that of Hyperledger Indy while surpassing eIDAS in resilience and decentralization. IOTA has earned a notable mention in a high-profile academic study on digital identity published in 2025. As reviewed by CNF, the study titled “Decentralization trends in identity management: From federated to Self-Sovereign Identity Management Systems” was led by researchers from the University of Oslo in Norway. With a focus on three identity solutions – eIDAS, Hyperledger, and IOTA Identity, the report lauded the contributions of IOTA, which include the absolute removal of intermediaries, giving full control to users, enabling self-sovereign identities, etc. Summarizing the report, a popular IOTA enthusiast identified as Salima highlighted that the lightweight architecture of IOTA was found to outperform Hyperledger Indy in terms of simplicity and openness. It also outshines eIDAS in terms of autonomy, resilience, and decentralization. However, there is a gap. According to the report, IOTA still needs improvement in different areas, including the issuer reputation system and advanced privacy features. Meanwhile, it is miles ahead due to its permissionless design. Per our research, Hyperledger Indy is a special kind of blockchain technology that plays a crucial role in the management of digital identities in a secure and decentralized way. IOTA Identity, on the other hand, ensures privacy, data availability, and trust, as noted in our earlier post. According to an official blog post, this was designed to empower people, organizations, and devices to facilitate a smooth and secure interaction without the need for intermediaries. Designed for individuals, organizations, and devices, IOTA Identity acts as a unifying layer of trust between everyone and everything. It streamlines identity verification and management by defining three key…
