Identity
provides an integrated identity framework which allows for a tiered approach to on-boarding participants to a blockchain instance.
Permission
Users are assigned permissions through a full roles-based permissioning system. 's roles can be defined both in terms of traditional read/write/update and in the second dimension of transactional permissions.
Authority
Authority is complex in financial services with individuals having the ability to act on behalf of organisations for specific purposes. Identity implements an authority scheme based around wallet access and Power of Attorney which provides for limited and task-specific permissioning.
