Summary

esatus AG is a German IT service provider that develops Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) solutions, with their main products being the esatus Wallet and SOWL (SSI-based identity management system). Launched in 2020, their technical implementation is based on W3C Verifiable Credentials, Hyperledger Aries, and distributed ledger technology.

The esatus Wallet is a mobile application that enables users to manage digital credentials through decentralized identifiers (DIDs). Key technical features include:

  • Multi-ledger support for networks like Sovrin MainNet, BCGov Test Ledger
  • DIDComm protocol implementation for secure communication
  • Integration with biometric authentication
  • Support for credential revocation checking
  • Privacy-preserving design where personal data remains only on user devices

Their enterprise product SOWL provides organizations with SSI-based identity management capabilities that can be deployed either on-premises or as SaaS. The solution has received notable adoption through IDunion, a European SSI ecosystem project funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. esatus AG participates actively in the SSI community through open source contributions and standards development, including work with the W3C, Hyperledger Foundation, and OpenWallet Foundation.

Tech Stack Self Description
Source
The app will use at least one individual connection with a unique decentralized identifier (DID) while communicating with each different agent in a network so that your online activity cannot be tracked. After revealing claims your counterpart can verify the identity of the issuer of the credential, the validity of the credential (i.e. that it is has not been revoked by the issuer) and that the content is trustworthy.
