# Awesome Decentralized Identity [![Awesome](https://awesome.re/badge.svg)](https://awesome.re) **DID, Blockchain and Self-Sovereign Identity Resources** ![](https://i.imgur.com/9KpJRDr.png) >Imagine a world where you are in direct control of your personal information; a world where you can limit and control how much information you share while retaining the ability to transact in the world. This is self-sovereign identity, and it is already here. Blockchain is the underlying technology paving the path to self-sovereign identity through decentralized networks. It ensures privacy and trust, where transactions are secure, authenticated and verifiable and endorsed by relevant, permissioned participants.

One had me write a 3500 word report on "Blockchain and the United Nations." Another client had me write a 1500 word report on blockchain identity, an exploration of the sector. So, I had collected a ton of information on decentralzied id. I'm not on fiverr anymore, but I still do reserach :) I also [collect resources](http://crypt0library.net) on nearly every subject in crypto, which I'm slowly entering into a database to power a [web-app](https://github.com/infominer33/Crypto-library) for search, navigation by tags, etc. Since I enjoy the subject so much, I decided to enter all of my DID resources into [toml](/blockchain-id.toml), and I knew I could make an [awesome list](https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome) out of them sooner than a live demo of the app that is in progress. All of this work feeds into the rest, collecting resources helps me write, writing makes me find more resources. Putting the resources into the database also leads to collecting more resources, which will help me (and others) create quality content as time goes on. Generally speaking, learning is a lot harder when you don't know where the best quality information is. ### /awesome-indy and /blockchain-identity **[/awesome-indy](https://github.com/infominer33/awesome-decentralized-id/blob/master/awesome-indy/)** is another list that naturally grew from this one; focused on Sovrin/Indy protocol, governance, and ecosystem. I've also worked on [/peacekeeper/blockchain-identity](https://github.com/peacekeeper/blockchain-identity/) and included some of its resources here. Ideally these lists will compliment each-other. For now, I'm becoming more familiar with all of this material, and how it fits together in the decentralized identity space. I expect to be actively engaged building this repository for the next month or so, and look forward to it growing along with decentralized identity (irl) over the coming years. **[Pull Requests](https://github.com/infominer33/awesome-decentralized-id/blob/master/contributing.md) and\or [Contributions](#brought-to-you-by-the-crypto-librarysuper-source) Welcome** --- #### Link Shorthand: [[**T**](#Link-Shorthand)]witter • [[**G**](#Link-Shorthand)]ithub • [[**B**](#Link-Shorthand)]log • [[**wp**](#Link-Shorthand)] whitepaper • [[**D**](#Link-Shorthand)]ocumentation • [[**F**](#Link-Shorthand)]orums • [[**C**](#Link-Shorthand)]hat • [[**tele**](Link-Shorthand)]gram • [[**web**](Link-Shorthand)]site • [[**ϟ**](#Link-Shorthand)] related resource • [[**>**](#Link-Shorthand)] related section • [[**^**](#Link-Shorthand)] back to the contents. ## History[**^**](#Contents) This isn't meant to be a complete historical outline, but enough backround to provide context for the rest. ![](https://www.yubico.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/IIW-blog.jpg) ### The Augmented Social Network and the IDCommons[**^**](#Contents) * *[The Augmented Social Network](http://asn.planetwork.net/): Building Identity and Trust into the Next-Generation Internet,* presented at the June 2003 Planetwork conference and published in [First Monday](http://www.uic.edu/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/article/view/1068/988) the Peer-Reviewed Journal on the Internet 8/4/03. >"[This paper](http://asn.planetwork.net/asn-archive/AugmentedSocialNetwork.pdf) proposes the creation of an Augmented Social Network (ASN) that would build identity and trust into the architecture of the Internet" Ideas from the ASN were the foundation of much that followed.

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 Information on 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](http://iiw.idcommons.net/Main_Page) * [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) ## Resources ### Self Sovereign Identity[**^**](#Contents) ![](http://imgur.com/3zz62kpl.png) * [The Path to Self-Soverereign Identity](http://www.lifewithalacrity.com/2016/04/the-path-to-self-soverereign-identity.html) * [A Technlogy-Free Definition of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI)](https://github.com/jandrieu/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2016/raw/master/topics-and-advance-readings/a-technology-free-definition-of-self-sovereign-identity.pdf) is a continuation of the discussion started by Allen. * [Self-Sovereign Identity Principles](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity/blob/master/self-sovereign-identity-principles.md) * [7 Myths of Self Sovereign Identity](https://medium.com/evernym/7-myths-of-self-sovereign-identity-67aea7416b1) * [Self-Sovereign Identity: Why Blockchain?](https://www.ibm.com/blogs/blockchain/2018/06/self-sovereign-identity-why-blockchain/) * [Inevitable Rise of Self-Sovereign Identity](https://sovrin.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/The-Inevitable-Rise-of-Self-Sovereign-Identity.pdf) * [WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-id](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity) * [SSI Meetup](http://ssimeetup.org/) * [Self-Sovereign Identity — wiki.p2pfoundation](https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Self-Sovereign_Identity) * [There’s A Facebook Alternative, It’s Called Self-Sovereign Identity](https://www.coindesk.com/theres-alternative-facebook-called-self-sovereign-identity) —coindesk
