The course gives a good overview of current challenges in using passwords based authentication on the Internet and possible solutions. Later the course focuses on the purpose, scope and relationship between Aries, Indy and Ursa and how those projects could be used in solving passwords based authentication challenges.
The course targets anyone interested in the identity management on blockchains or seeking introduction to Hyperledger projects Indy, Aries and Ursa, their tools, libraries and main components. Although the course covers many basic blockchain-related concepts we would not advice to take this course as the general introduction to blockchains.
This is an introductory course and should be accessible to everyone. However, it would be easier to follow the course having a bit of understanding about blockchains in general and very basic information about the Hyperledger blockchain.

Content
The course is structured as “problems → solutions → real life applications”. All the discussion covers on the high level and revolves around Hyperledger projects Indy, Aries and Ursa, their tools, libraries and main components. The last two lectures on practical applications (“When Things Go Wrong” and “Possibilities”) are rather light.
-
Technology
The course primarily designed as the first non-technical introduction to programmers aiming to learn the identity-management related concepts and main modules and tools of the Hyperledger projects Indy, Aries and Ursa.
-
Applications
The course aims to teach and to inform not just technology but also business oriented learners. For business people most interesting parts would be ones covering the Internet identity challenges, possible solutions and practical applications even though the application discussion could be more extensive and detailed.
-
Delivery
The learning material is primarily presented as a text. The course may appear more engaging if it uses more multimedia elements in addition to the usual text. The presentation style encourages to take advantage of discussion forums and interaction with the other learners. Quizzes, tests and instructor feedback are available just in the paid version.
To the surprise of absolutely no one, trust is broken on the Internet. Wherever you go online, the advice is the same--make sure you understand what's behind each button before you click it.
In this course, we'll dive into three Hyperledger open source projects--Indy, Aries and Ursa--looking at the tools, libraries, and reusable components they provide for creating and using independent digital identities rooted on blockchains or other distributed ledgers. We will explore the possibilities they offer for building applications on a solid digital foundation of trust and examine how these technologies can make the Internet safe. It's quite a challenge!
The course is addressed to a wide-ranging audience, walking the line between business and technology.
