# self-sovereign-identity
Articles and documents associated with designing and implementing identity technology using self-sovereign identity principles

I copied this from [my fork](https://github.com/infominer33/self-sovereign-identity) of [/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity](https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/self-sovereign-identity)

This is just a temporary workspace. I'm going to use these materials to create the beginnings of a collaborative article on the [Evolution of Self Sovereign Identity](evolution-of-ssi.md); to highlight the best thought on the matter since 2016, and highlight a few needs as I see them. Once I've exhausted my interpretation, I'll put it into a google shared doc for collaboration with whoever is interested.
