1. A method for provisioning 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 a user seeking credentialling, electronic presentation of one or more instances of electronic evidence personally identifying the user or supporting any credentialling being sought and a keystore to hold access to any credentialling issued; and
issuing a credential being sought by (i) generating a user private key and user public key upon receipt of approval of the electronic evidence; (ii) forwarding a user credential being sought comprising the user public key to one of the set of decentralized networked nodes that share the private permissioned blockchain data structure or the decentralized personal ledger; and (iii) expunging any copies of the user private key; and (iv) issuing to the keystore the user private key; thereby credentialling the user to exchange secure messages with nodes of the set of decentralized network nodes.
