User Agents

User agents are software applications or interfaces that act on behalf of the user to manage their digital identity. They handle the interaction between the user, their credentials, and the various services they access.

In the context of trading, a user agent might be a browser extension, a mobile wallet, or a dedicated identity app. It automates the process of signing transactions, presenting credentials, and managing keys.

The user agent provides a simplified interface for the complex cryptographic processes happening in the background, making user-centric identity accessible to non-technical users.
