SIGMA: Report of developed tools and technical documentation - Public version

Abstract

The coming of Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs) and blockchain, in the outlook of new technologiesduring the last decade, entailed a disruption in several spheres, such as the economy field and the identificationof entities and individuals, due to the great possibilities provided to them. Although their first application were cryptocurrencies, DLTs have been assimilated in other settings, suchas their introduction in enterprise-grade systems. The technology itself has been evolving, facing some of itslimitations and accommodating the extension of its potential use cases. SIGMA is conceived to broaden knowledge in two of the most novel aspects of DLTs: Layer-2 networksand decentralized self-sovereign identity. Its goal is to increase expertise in these areas to facilitate theirintegration and exploitation by our surrounding companies.
