Decentralized identity is no longer theoretical. It’s becoming a practical component of modern hybrid architectures. In this session, we’ll take a deep technical dive into Microsoft Entra Verified ID, unpacking the cryptography, trust chains, and wallet mechanics that power verifiable credentials. You’ll learn how issuance and presentation flows work under the hood, how trust is established and validated, and how Verified ID integrates with Entra ID in hybrid environments. We’ll explore real-world design patterns, security considerations, and architectural trade-offs enabling you to confidently evaluate where decentralized identity strengthens your identity protection strategy.
