Using an association data structure corresponding to a derived decentralized identifier of a subject entity to share a verified claim about the subject entity to one or more relying entities. A decentralized identifier of a subject entity is derived from a source decentralized identity of the subject entity. Next, an association data structure is created using the derived decentralized identifier. The association data structure is structured to be interpretable by a relying entity as demonstrating that a verified claim is about the derived decentralized identity. The relying entity is then caused to be provided the verified claim about the subject entity. The verified claim includes the association data structure that was created using the derived decentralized identifier.
