Model Use Cases: How SIROS Enables Real-World Trust Flows

The SIROS Foundation exists to help build a world where credentials—not accounts—are the backbone of digital relationships. These model use cases show how verifiable credentials and decentralized architecture solve real-world identity, privacy, and federation challenges.

Each use case represents a reusable pattern. You can start small or scale across ecosystems. Either way, SIROS tools are here to help.

Use Case #1: Reusable Credentials for Long-Term Relationships

Problem

Relying parties don’t want to store sensitive user data—but they still need a way to verify that a returning user is legitimate and authorized.

Solution

SIROS enables reauthentication through credentials held in the user’s wallet, not a central system.

Example scenarios

  • Buying a car and accessing service benefits.

  • Claiming membership or entitlements post-purchase.

  • Issuing a credential that can be reused to prove ongoing status

Why it matters

You can reduce risk, skip re-verification, and give users portable benefits—all without tracking them.

Use Case #2: Anonymous but Verified

Problem

You want to authenticate a returning user or whistleblower without ever knowing who they are.

Solution

SIROS enables privacy-preserving credentials that prove continuity—without collecting identity data.

Example scenarios

  • Whistleblowers who want to remain anonymous.

  • Journalists with certified credentials but no identifying info.

  • Age gates without birthdates.

Why it matters

Trust doesn’t have to mean surveillance. Credentials can verify claims, not identities.

Use Case #3: Proof of Eligibility at the Edge

Problem

Individuals must repeatedly prove rights or qualifications to access services.

Solution

With SIROS, individuals carry verifiable credentials for age, employment status, training, or immigration status.

Example scenarios

  • Age verification for online services or goods

  • Right to work during immigration onboarding

  • Employee credentials presented during hiring

Why it matters

Decentralized credentials simplify access and reduce friction—no endless re-verification or back-office checks.

Use Case #4: Federation Across Frameworks

Problem

Trust doesn’t stop at your ecosystem’s boundary—but most systems do.

Solution

SIROS helps bridge disconnected trust frameworks without centralization or fragile point-to-point integrations.

Example scenarios

  • Healthcare and finance systems needing cross-sector trust

  • AI agents operating across regulatory domains

  • Multi-context processing (e.g., MCP Federation)

Why it matters

Federation needs more than protocols—it needs shared trust logic. SIROS helps you span contexts with confidence.

Use Case #5: Micropayments Without Identity Leakage

Problem

Payment systems—especially those outside credit card rails—must authenticate users and authorize transactions without exposing identity.

Solution

SIROS enables credential-based authentication for direct, private, verifiable payment flows.

Example scenarios

  • Bank-issued credentials proving the ability to settle

  • Merchant-to-bank payment flows with minimal user friction

  • Wallet-based pay-per-use access

Why it matters

Smaller payments shouldn’t mean bigger risks. Credentials offer the assurance of identity without the burden of identity proofing.
