A good selfsovereign identity system will allow individuals to directly influence how companies, governments, and others correlate our interactions across different services and locations by default. It wont fix all identity problems nor preclude alternative identity approaches, but it will put the individual in control of most uses of identity and give organizations a simpler, easier, more ethical way to use identity to improve how they provide services and products. When successful, it will not only enable individuals to exercise greater control over how companies and governments keep track of us, it will also illuminate those situations where selfsovereign identity is restricted, facilitating a conversation about when and where such limits are appropriate.

Note:

I'm beginning to realize that the more accessible this becomes as a web-page, the less accessible it becomes as a directory on GitHub. I guess that's ok, I'm not really sure. I plan to set up comments soon, and find other ways for visitors to easily offer feedback. For example, I feel like the desktop font was too big so I reduced it, but now I wonder if the mobile font is too small.. and I'm going to try and adjust that.. but it would be helpful to know what your experience is.

And yeah, I'm still working out the deets with the logos... Other than that I'm super excited about how well this site works now :D Those logos will drive me nuts until I figure out something that looks good, but really I need to focus on something else for the moment.

As you can see, I'm continually working to break up the info into separate files, so it can all grow. If a page looks empty, feel free to share any links you have and\or submit a few sentences. Otherwise, hold tight. There is a vision, it's all coming together..

What is Decentralized ID?

That's a big question, and what follows are just some notes, until I work out a more thoughtful answer.

The essence of Decentralized-ID is in creating open standards for a privacy preserving internet-wide identity layer — not owned by any one particular organization, but interoperable between all.

It's impossible to have a conversation about decentralized-id without discussing blockchain and self sovereign identity:

  • Self Sovereign Identity principles (with some help from the GDPR) have helped to shape the narrative around putting the identity owner in control over their personal information.
  • Excitement over Blockchain Tech has spilled over in support of longstanding efforts to create a privacy preserving internet-wide identity protocol, and inspired development of decentralized networks for online identification.
  • The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have also fueled efforts towards a global and widely accessible identity solution.
