!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] is a [Decentralized Identity] system and is a collection of tools and [protocols] for building [Decentralized system] user-centric [applications]. 

[{$pagename}] is built on open standards and [Open Source] libraries. [{$pagename}] identities can be created and interacted with through [{$pagename}] clients, including the [{$pagename}] mobile app. Identities are fully owned and controlled by the creator, and don't rely on centralized third-parties for creation, control or [validation].

uport-connect is the client side library that allows you interact with a user's uPort identity through a uPort client, primarily the mobile app. It handles the communication channel between your app and a uPort client, which can vary depending on the environment which your application runs. Over this communication channel you can send requests for a user's data, share credentials, generate transactions to be signed by a user and relay requests you originally created on your server with uport-credentials. This library offers the default quick start implementation to integrate with uPort, but if it doesn't offer exactly what you need, you may be interested in using uport-tranports and uport-credentials instead.[{$pagename}] is built on:
* [Decentralized Identifier] ([DID])
* [ERC1056] [Lightweight Ethereum Identity]
* [Verifiable Claims] based on [JSON]
* [Verifiable Claims Data Model and Representations]
