1. A method for delegating user access to one of a set of decentralized networked nodes that share a private permissioned blockchain data structure or a decentralized personal ledger, to which access has been limited to users authorized by one of the set of decentralized networked nodes, the method comprising:
receiving from one of the set of decentralized networked nodes, an authority to access a network node to invoke services that conduct operations using the private permissioned blockchain data structure or decentralized personal ledger;
creating a delegation of at least some of the authority to access the network node using a decentralized identity communication (DIDComm) messaging protocol, generating an encrypted access credential, wherein DIDComm messaging protocol uses a private key as a sender and a recipient public key as a recipient, and generates the encrypted access credential; and
sending the delegation to the recipient.
