Summary - X.1286 (06/2026) - Access control platform using distributed ledger technology (DLT)-based authentication method

Recommendation ITU-T X.1286 specifies the requirements for an access control platform using distributed ledger technology (DLT)-based authentication, a framework that enables secure, fast, and convenient distributed authentication and identity verification of users and devices in order to access to digital services. A DLT-based authentication systems enables secure identity identification, validation, and verification services designed to meet the requirements of the organization's access controls.
An access control platform using DLT-based authentication protects user credentials against fraudulent activities through authentication and identity verification using DLT. DLT also enables a passwordless identity verification service with multi-factor authentication (MFA) methods to protect user's account from being taken over (ATO), fraudulent transactions, unauthorized account access, account hijacking, credential fraud and ransomware.
Recommendation ITU-T X.1286 could help DLT system researchers, designers, developers, and organizations to design, implement, and operate an access control platform using DLT based authentication
