<p>In Germany, for example, the federal government initially decided to store data from the nations Corona-Warn app on centralized servers, <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-europe-tech/germany-flips-on-smartphone-contact-tracing-backs-apple-and-google-idUSKCN22807J">as reported by Reuters</a> in April 2020. In response, multiple stakeholders like the <a href="https://netzpolitik.org/2020/ccc-warnt-bundesregierung-vor-zentralistischer-corona-app-covid19-contact-tracing-pepppt-dp3t/">Chaos Computer Club (CCC)</a> loudly criticized the plans and the resulting public outcry forced the government to reconsider. The fact that the government heard the criticisms, re-evaluated its proposals and opted for a decentralized version of its Corona app instead one  where data will only be stored on users phones instead of centralized government servers was <a href="https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/politik/corona-app-launch-100.html">news</a> well received by large parts of society.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>One of the desired outcomes of using standards-driven open source code projects is to avoid vendor lock-in. If your digital identity is a public good, then you shouldnt be locked in to one specific company. If a company goes out of business, I may lose my identity data. If I find a better alternative, Im unable to port my identity. Therefore, interoperability is a vital aspect of being able to provide sovereignty to individuals but also to governments.</p>

<p>By introducing decentralization, there is an opportunity for dApp developers to uphold strong, secure data privacy protections for users across the board.  By offering strong privacy defaults and more user-centric options, decentralized data solutions will enable individuals to make informed decisions about their data.</p>

<p>When we talk about SSI in relationship to the decentralization movement where bitcoin was the frontrunner, we talk about it in a similar manner as the original promise of nuclear energy. In this case not an abundance of cheap energy but the notion of self-control at the level the bitcoin ledger operates. But how would that look like?</p>

<p>In this summary paper, we will explain the different components of decentralization, the benefits of decentralized systems, examples of how different projects have approached the process of decentralizing, and good-faith critiques of decentralization. This paper will act as a TL;DR summarizing the concept of decentralization within its current usage, while providing linked resources throughout for those interested in digging deeper into specific areas.</p>

<blockquote>
<p>It is common to <a href="https://medium.com/@jaygraber/decentralized-social-networks-e5a7a2603f53">hear people say that “decentralized” describes what a distributed system is</a> <a href="https://medium.com/@jaygraber/decentralized-social-networks-e5a7a2603f53">not</a> <a href="https://medium.com/@jaygraber/decentralized-social-networks-e5a7a2603f53">instead of what it is</a>. However, when using the word “decentralized” they typically mean something more than just the organization of the network. To them it implies a partitioning of the services, governance, and overall power structure to prevent any one entity, or user, from controlling others in the system. It then follows that a fully decentralized system — among many other things — atomizes the power structure to the smallest possible unit and distributes it out to the edges where it is under direct user control.</p>
<p>Before setting out on solving the authentic data solution for global scale I wanted to best understand the problem of decentralization and then declare the principles that I bound myself while solving it. There was very little discussion other than some clarifications on what I mean by “absolute” privacy by default and how that may make users reluctant to use any software like that.</p>
