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. - @@ -250,7 +248,8 @@ On May 22 at Consensus 2017 the formation of the Decentralized Identity Foundati ![](http://untangled.world/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/everynym-logo-1400x357.png) * [Evernym](https://www.evernym.com/) [[**twitter**](https://twitter.com/evernym)] [[**github**](https://github.com/evernym/sovrin)] Founded in 2013 -* [The Three Models of Digital Identity Relationships — How self-sovereign identity (SSI) is different, and why it’s better](https://medium.com/evernym/the-three-models-of-digital-identity-relationships-ca0727cb5186) +* [Identity System Essentials](https://www.evernym.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Identity-System-Essentials.pdf) (Original Evernym Identity WP) 3/2016 +* [The Three Models of Digital Identity Relationships — How self-sovereign identity (SSI) is different, and why it’s better](https://medium.com/evernym/the-three-models-of-digital-identity-relationships-ca0727cb5186) * [Is Self-Sovereign Identity the ultimate GDPR compliance tool?
