Our thesis is that blockchains, or more generically distributed ledgers, are a potentially powerful new tool for “identity roots” — the starting points for an Internet identity. However “blockchain identity” may not fully address the core security and privacy principles needed in a complete identity system. In this case DIDs — Decentralized Identifiers rooted on a distributed ledger — may end up being a foundational building block for higher level identity management solutions. - +* At this point in time DLT innovation, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and the EU GDPR all came together supporting a core identirati tenant: Eliminating id data silos and empowering users regarding digital identity. + +![](https://i.imgur.com/XtZQg0j.png)\ +The Story of Open SSI Standards - Drummond Reed/Evernym SSIMeetup.org + + + +### Additional IID Standards History [**^**](#contents) +* [A Brief History of Digital Identity](https://medium.com/humanizing-the-singularity/a-brief-history-of-digital-identity-9d6a773bf9f5) +* [A Step Back in Time: The History and Evolution of Digital Identity](https://www.iotevolutionworld.com/iot/articles/410328-step-back-time-history-evolution-digital-identity.htm) +* [Identity Commons-Wiki](http://wiki.idcommons.net/Main_Page) +* [IIW-Wiki](https://iiw.idcommons.net/Main_Page) +* [IIW - Past Workshops](https://internetidentityworkshop.com/past-workshops/) +* [identitywoman.net](https://identitywoman.net/) +* [windley.com/tags/identity](http://www.windley.com/tags/identity.shtml) +* [WoTinfo](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/) +* [The Path to Self Sovereign Identity](http://www.lifewithalacrity.com/2016/04/the-path-to-self-soverereign-identity.html) diff --git a/self-sovereign-identity/README.md b/self-sovereign-identity/README.md index d8662523..bdf312b6 100644 --- a/self-sovereign-identity/README.md +++ b/self-sovereign-identity/README.md @@ -97,17 +97,5 @@ Then I realized that I should make a more complete survey of the subject, if I w --- -### Contact Me for Research Based Content—[infominer.id](https://infominer.id) +### [infominer.id](https://infominer.id) - -Check out the [Crypto SuperSource Discord Server](https://discord.gg/ahTuPMY), if you'd like to chat or discover our other crypto-resources. - -**Tips Welcome** - -BTC— 1GvkjHtiy9LUjVkStnEAXxjhcoS56aCokY - -![](http://imgur.com/yXLLm9Bl.png) - -DOGE— DSzMxfABB8EwKiumzV7YHhS7HTvWAyM7QF - -![](https://i.imgur.com/0zBLoUP.png)
