Self Sovereign Identity

  • What is Self Sovereign Identity 2021-10-13 Florian Strauf

    The important thing in SSI is that instead of a stamp on the plastic card, the credential is signed cryptographically by the issuer, enabling anyone to verify who issued the credentials. This makes verification much easier than in the physical world.

  • Decentralizing Identity - Taking Back Control 2021-10-13 Madigan Solutions

    In a nutshell, Self-Sovereign Identity allows individuals to manage their own identities by moving physical credentials to digital devices. An individual will receive a credential from an issuer which will be stored in their digital wallet.

  • The Principles of User Sovereignty 2020-07-31 UXDesign

    “Our identities have no bodies, so, unlike you, we cannot obtain order by physical coercion. We believe that from ethics, enlightened self-interest, and the commonweal, our governance will emerge. Our identities may be distributed across many of your jurisdictions. The only law that all our constituent cultures would generally recognize is the Golden Rule. We hope we will be able to build our particular solutions on that basis. But we cannot accept the solutions you are attempting to impose.” — John Perry Barlow

    • Data is stored privately on a user device and not replicated numerous times across the digital world.

    In other words, when a user “shares” data, it shares only the access to his/her data. And, as easy as one can do that, they can also revoke it (unless they are legally bound to share it for a certain period).

  • The Implications of Bring Your Own Identity Identity Defined Security Alliance 2020-12-03

    My short stint as “Mark Jannell" taught me a lot of about trust and ease of use in a bring your own identity model. Trust, as always in security, is essential to this new class of relationships and must be established and then protected from abuse. Ease of use, it turns out, is a key factor in protecting that trust and promoting the adoption of good identity patterns. I’m sure that I could have learned these lessons in some other way, but I’ll never forget my half year answering to a pseudonym.

  • Evolution of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) 2021-11-16 LionsGate

    Self-sovereign identity (SSI) systems offers an alternative model that supports richer relationships. Rather than provisioning identifiers and accounts in an administrative system where the power imbalance assures that one party to the relationship can dictate the terms of the interaction, SSI is founded on peer relationships that are co-provisioned by the exchange of decentralized identifiers. This architecture implies that both parties will have tools that speak a common protocol.

Self-sovereign identity Definition <-its quite good

Self-sovereign identity (SSI) is rooted in the belief that individuals have the right to an identity independent of reliance on a third-party identity provider, such as the state or any other central authority. Its implementation requires the development of technical standards, as well as socio-political adaptations rooted in legal amendments in order to be successful.

In this short article, we investigate three different approaches to how SSI concepts map on the blockchain infrastructure.

  • The Verifiable Credential’s Model

    At the core of every self-sovereign identity (SSI) use case is what we call the verifiable credentials model. This simple yet effective model helps conceptualize how verifiable credentials are exchanged between people and organizations.

the relationship view of identity, the nature of authentic digital relationships, the trust bases of identity systems, and the architecture of the identity metasystem, including decentralized identifier communication and the self-sovereign Internet. He then explores how to operationalize digital relationships and the potential of generative identities (e.g., verifiable credentials) and credential exchange. He concludes with a deep dive into self-sovereign identities in production: the UK National Health Service staff passport, Bonifii’s MemberPass for credit unions, the International Air Transport Association Travel Pass, and others.

  • The Era of Self-Sovereign Identity ChakRay

    Similar actions conducted in person do not represent the same amount of risk. For example, if someone asks you to verify your identity, we show our ID or driver’s license, and when you pay at the store, you provide your bank card. In this way, the control and the ownership of the data stays with you.

  • Blockchain Self-Sovereign Identity: True Control Of Your Identity Komodo Platform

    The adoption of verifiable credentials is another fundamental part of the SSI concept. Verifiable credentials use a digital signature for identity claims by combining public-key hashing cryptography and privacy-protection techniques to convert credentials like ID cards to digital versions.

  • [Video] Exploring the Decentralized Web, Episode 4: Digital Identity Filecoin Foundation

Episode 4 explores the relationship between authentication and authorization, the rise of single sign-on platforms, and the advantages of and use cases for self-sovereign identity. Guests include Brian Behlendorf, Rainey Reitman, Danny O'Brien, Sarah Friend, Wendy Hanamura, Andrew Hill, and Brad Kam.

(the) Use Case

How does this change the world of cybersecurity protection? Typically, bad actors approach cybersecurity attacks by developing solutions that exploit the attack vectors of their target victims.

There are 4 attack vector categories to self-sovereign identity that map directly to each element: Issuer, Holder, Trust Registry and Verifier.

    Digital identity data is introduced as having a positive impact on Germany’s future as well as Europe’s. Following, benefits of a decentralized identity based on a fully open infrastructure are given.

  • What Will We Learn from the Market Failure of Digital Identity? Identiverse

    We have a widely accepted Standard Model of Identity, or architecture, in which Subjects, Identity Providers and Relying Parties (aka Holders, Issuers and Verifiers) hold, present, exchange, use and/or consume digital identities.

  • The World’s First Verifiable Credentials Steve Wilson

    Commonly associated with blockchain and the Self-Sovereign Identity movement, Verifiable Credentials are in fact an old idea.  It is instructive to break down their essential properties and examine the pioneering examples.

  • SteveWilson Considering SSI critics

    I reckon most cases of over-identification stem either from bad habits (e.g. RPs gathering circumstantial AuthN signals) or from Surveillance Capitalism. Either way, better deals for users will come from better design, not by weaponising Digital Identity (SSI, DIDs).

  • Understanding Verifiable Credentials Credivera

    The value of verifiable credentials and the critical role they will play to our future digital identities is undeniable. As we enter a new era of online representation, trust in the internet will need to be vigorously robust.

  • More security does not have to mean less user-friendliness Martin Kuppinger, Tagesspiegel

    The passwords that have been declared dead are far from dead. Nevertheless, the way in which users authenticate themselves is changing towards more security and convenience.

  • Never mind who I am, ask me about my credentials John Phillips

    Many (most) identity systems make a fundamental assumption that is built into their very architecture. This assumption creates three significant problems: privacy erosion; toxic data stores; and poor security.

  • Digital Identity Convenience Christine Martin, Continuum Loop

    You will take back control of your identity and hold it. Not Facebook, not Google, and you will decide what credentials to share on a need-to-know basis. We don’t have to be scared of the shift; we have to ensure the architecture is built ethically for all

  • Rewiring the Internet with Self-Sovereign Identities.

    In “Self-Sovereign Identity,” Johannes Sedlmeir makes a clear distinction between two concepts too often mixed: “identity” and “identifiers”. What we are experiencing in today’s Web are some external organizations identifying us as citizens, community members, customers, etc. But this isn’t our “identity.” Those are identifiers.

  • Myths about SSI Jolocom

The idea that as a user of SSI I have complete sovereignty over my digital identity is often misunderstood. At its core, SSI is about my digital identity being under my own control, so I can decide to whom I show my data, when, and for what.

  • What will happen if I don’t jump on this train?
  • What would it mean if I didn’t have to own my customer’s digital identity but establish a deep digital relationship with them instead?
  • Do I have the capacity to learn about this? If not, who do you trust to figure it out – both on the business and technical sides.
  • What changes when digital identity becomes a revenue driver and asset for your business? (hint: top and bottom line)
  • Which of my competitors is probably already doing this?

Eventually, SSI will give people a super simple way to do the following and more:

  1. Protect sensitive identity information like SSN and birthdates to reduce the likelihood and impact of identity theft
  2. Securely prove your identity or things about yourself in a way that institutions can trust
  3. Maintain privacy and reduce the ability for corporations or nefarious actors to track you without your consent
  4. Conveniently get access to services you need without usernames and passwords

  • Crossfunctionality Centre

    I have developed a pet peeve for "technosolutionism": the notion that a sufficiently innovative technology can solve a social problem, or a business problem, without complex and nuanced changes to social and business practice.

  • What does ‘open’ mean to you? WeAreOpenCoop

    Even with a little bit of input and discussion, you can see the shift to words such as ‘inclusivity’ and phrases such as ‘being more accessible’ or ‘getting everyone involved’.

  • The Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) Basics Santanderigo

    The very center of the digital identity is your documents: from your National ID or Passport to your degrees, mobile phone number, bank account number, or your medical records. Anything that is intrinsically bound to you is your data and therefore your identity. While talking about SSI these are called Verifiable Credentials (VC).

  • What is decentralized identity? In CSO

    The DID model allows you to establish a relationship between your private key (your blockchain wallet) and your citizenship.  The issuing authority signs off on the truth of your claim and, thereafter, third parties can check your public key to see that the holder of the private key is in fact a British citizen.

So I propose this outermost framework to help us think about how to interact with shared information environments

There is a real opportunity to combine technology that is being developed with the concept of BYO Identity that will create a new identity framework where you own and control your data.

No other additional information is needed to complete this data exchange. So how do you know that the information being provided is authentic? The identity ‘proof’ uses a cryptographic hash function that confirms beyond any doubt that the identity claim is accurate.
