# Self Sovereign Identity (SSI)
**Articles and documents associated with Self Sovereign Identity fundamentals.**
**Articles and documents associated with Self Sovereign Identity Fundamentals.**
This directory was born from [/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity), the original SSI repository. I've done a bit of work over there, and decided to expand my efforts. The reason I got started on this is because I wanted to write an article about SSI. Then I saw the opportunity to help with its documentation.
This directory was born from [/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity), the original SSI repository. I've done a bit of work over there, and decided to expand my efforts. The reason I got started on this is because I wanted to write an article about SSI, and saw some areas where I think I can help with some of the legwork towards a more complete, and up-to-date set of SSI literature.
The best overall article on the subject is still Christopher Allen's rallying cry: [The Path to Self-Sovereign Identity](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity/blob/master/ThePathToSelf-SovereignIdentity.md). Christopher did an excellent job of outlining the history of internet identity standards, and introduces [10 Principles of Self-Sovereign Identity](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity/blob/master/self-sovereign-identity-principles.md), currently in revision. Additionally, some criticism of the principles has been offered, and a considerable amount of additional material has been created.
In my opinion, the best overall article on the subject is still Christopher Allen's rallying cry: [The Path to Self-Sovereign Identity](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity/blob/master/ThePathToSelf-SovereignIdentity.md). Christopher did an outstanding job of outlining the history of internet identity standards, and introduces [10 Principles of Self-Sovereign Identity](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity/blob/master/self-sovereign-identity-principles.md), currently in revision.
I've begun organizing some thoughts around the [Evolution of Self Sovereign Identity](evolution-of-ssi.md). The idea is to collect thought on SSI since 2016, and outline a few areas where I feel like the documentation could be improved. Once I've completed a review of existing literature on the subject, I'll put it into a google shared doc to encourage further participation.
However, considerable additional material has been created on the subject since then, including some helpful criticism on the principles. I've organized some of my initial thoughts in [/evolution-of-ssi.md](evolution-of-ssi.md).
In the mean-time, I'll adding all of the best SSI resources I can find here.
Then I realized that I should make a more complete survey of the subject, if I want to be thorough. So now I'm collecting as much SSI info as I can, and organizing it here. Once I've completed a review of existing literature on the subject, I'll put it into a google shared doc to encourage further participation.
