<p>Ontarios Digital ID will use self-sovereign identity because it gives the holder control over the credentials in their wallet. In addition, we are layering on these extra privacy-preserving features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Consent  The verifier must ask you to approve their request to confirm your credentials.</li>
<li>Data minimization  The verifier can only access what they need to confirm you are eligible for their service. For example, if you need to prove that you are old enough to buy a lottery ticket, the store clerk would only know that you are 18 or older not your actual age, birth date or anything else about you.</li>
<li>Anonymity  Your credentials are not tracked or traced.</li>
