awesome-decentralized-id —Draft

I have much appreciation for the WebOfTrustInfo and blockchain-identity repositories, to which this document is indebted.

Collaboration Welcome

This is a skeleton, around which I will fill some context, rearrange things a bit, and continue adding resources.

Please let me know if any of the links are depreciated\broken, or about anything you'd like to see included. However, I expect to work on this quite a bit over the coming months, so it might be just as well to wait a while and let the dust settle.

Awesome Decentralized, Self-Sovereign, and Blockchain Identity resources

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,'—Jerry Cuomo - IBM

Rebooting the Web of Trust #RWoT

The Web of Trust is a buzzword for a new model of decentralized self-sovereign identity. It’s a phrase that dates back almost twenty-five years, the classic definition derives from PGP.

But some use it as a term to include self-sovereign identity authentication & verification, certificate validation, and reputation assessment, while the vibrant blockchain community is also drawing new attention to the concept we aim to reboot it. —Rebranding the Web of Trust

Use Case — Workflow\Examples

United Nations

  • Bitnation — refugees.bitnation.co
    • Bitcoiners got involved with the Syrian refugee crisis around the same time that the UN began investigating the potential of blockchain for humanitarian aide.
    • "seeks to establish the concept of "world citizenship" through identity registration on the blockchain. The project is collaborating with the Estonian e-Residency program and also has a focus on offering 'blockchain emergency IDs' to refugees."
  • Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development

Goal 16.9 By 2030, provide legal identity for all, including birth registration

IDEMix — Zero Knowledge Proof's in Evernym—Indy

Our zero-knowledge proofs are part of the Idemix protocol, where they are used to prove the possession of Camenisch-Lysyanskaya credentials. We also use zero-knowledge proofs in the revocation protocol, which is based on cryptographic accumulators. —What Zero Knowledge Poof Algorithm is used in Sovrin?

Identity Mixer is not directly (re)implemented by Sovrin, but its cryptographic foundations are very similar, and Sovrin’s implementation includes most of its extended features (predicates, multi-credential, revocation, advanced issuance…). One of the researchers who helped to create Identity Mixer is on Sovrin’s Technical Governance Board and has offered insight to keep the implementations aligned on goals and methods. There is a separate effort to provide Identity Mixer features within Hyperledger Fabric, I believe–though I don’t know the details. —How is IDEMix Implemented?

Ethereum Identity Applications

  • uPort | github | twitter
  • Nuggets | whitepaper
    • "is a blockchain platform giving users a single biometric tool for login, payment and identity verification. It stores an individual's information in a "personal cloud" in "zero-knowledge blockchain storage".
  • Jolocom
    • a "SmartWallet" for everyone to own their personal digital identity, using Social Linked Data, WebID, and verifiable claims standards, as well as Ethereum smart contracts.
  • Democracy Earth Foundation | github| sovereign.software
    • developing "Sovereign", a blockchain direct democracy tool using "vote" tokens to grant democratic participation rights to every human. A proof-of-individuality (POI) process based on peer-to-peer validation establishes that a self-sovereign identity is uniquely tied to a single person. The project introduces a number of interesting socio-technical concepts such as "Social Smart Contract", "Initial Rights Offering", and "Cryptographically Induced Equality". Cooperation is happening with other decentralized identity initiatives such as Blockstack and uPort.
  • Ockam — creating a ERC20 based platform that registers IOT devices to a blockchain to solve systemic security and interoperability problems.

State Led Initiatives

Canada

Netherlands

Spain

Brought to you by: The Crypto Library—Super Source

A few of us are building a library of crypto knowledge on a discord server. Now those resources are migrating to github, to become a database and power web-portal\chat bot. I began working on this document after entering all of the DID resources I could find into blockchain-id.toml.

Self-Sovereign Identity is one of my favorite subjects in crypto, which is how this became the Crypto-library's first side-project.

It's also market research, as we're figuring out how to monetize this monumental task / seeking sponsorship.

Any contribution would be greatly appreciated!!
