In 2005, [Kaliya Young](https://identitywoman.net/)[[t](https://twitter.com/IdentityWoman)], [Phil Windley](https://windley.com)[[t](https://twitter.com/windley)], [Drummond Reed](https://www.evernym.com/)[[t](https://twitter.com/drummondreed)], and [Doc Searls](http://blogs.harvard.edu/doc/)[[t](https://twitter.com/dsearls)] hosted the first [Internet Identity Workshop](http://www.internetidentityworkshop.com/)[[t](https://twitter.com/idworkshop)] in Berkeley to discuss "architectural and governance proposals for Internet-wide identity services and their underlying philosophies." -[Announcing IIW 2005](https://identitywoman.net/announcing-the-internet-identity-workshop-iiw2005/)
Since then, the IIW has supported the development of the identity software ecosystem, including [OpenID](http://wiki.openid.net) (2005), [OpenID 2.0](http://wiki.openid.net/w/page/12995215/OpenID%20Authentication%202-1) (2006), OpenID [Connect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenID_Connect) (2014), [OAuth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OAuth) (2010), and [FIDO](https://fidoalliance.org/) (2013). The heart of the identity developing community seems to have been with empowering users and self sovereign principles. However, the power was still in the hands of large centralized institutions.

The term Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) began it's conception in 2012: [What is 'Sovereign Source Authority'?](https://www.moxytongue.com/2012/02/what-is-sovereign-source-authority.html) became a buzzword, by 2014; used in [Windhover Principles for Digital Identity](https://www.tokencommons.org/Windhover-Principles-for-Digital-Identity-Trust-Data.html) ([*early application*](https://hubculture.com/hubs/47/news/689/)).
