The essence of Decentralized-ID is to create systems for identification that are not owned by any one particular organization, and global collaboration in support of interoperability among emerging technologies.
The essence of Decentralized-ID is to create systems for identification that are not owned by any one particular organization, and global collaboration in support of interoperability among emerging technologies for identity.
It's impossible to have a conversation about decentralized identity without discussing blockchain and self sovereign identity. Blockchain fueled longstanding efforts to create a privacy preserving internet-wide identity protocol. Self Sovereign Identity principles have helped to shape the narrative around putting the identity owner in control over their personal information.
It's impossible to have a conversation about decentralized-id without discussing blockchain and self sovereign identity:
* Blockchain fueled longstanding efforts to create a privacy preserving internet-wide identity protocol, and inspired development of decentralized networks for online identification.
* Self Sovereign Identity principles (with some help from the GDPR) have helped to shape the narrative around putting the identity owner in control over their personal information.
