Giving people the privacy protection they need in the coming decade

Sovrin Foundation makes the case that self-sovereign identity is the most flexible system for handling data privacy as regulations are adopted in different jurisdictions and evolve to meet changing local needs over the next decade. The paper examines how GDPR applies to participants in a blockchain network and addresses recent guidance from EU regulators and the Commission Nationale de l’Informatique et des Libertés.

Innovation Meets ComplianceData Privacy Regulation and Distributed Ledger Technology

Self SSI - a solution developed by the esatus AG, an information security specialist with a strong focus on Identity & Access (I&A). In alignment with its mission «Enforcing Information Security» and being vendor neutral, esatus AG offers conceptual and implementation support across a wide range of solutions.

SeLF allows you to integrate the Self-Sovereign Identity into your infrastructure without modifying your legacy IT-applications, directories or management systems. SSI credential-based access rules (CrBAC) transform the new technology into authentication and authorization objects that can be synchronized and used by conventional technologies like SAML or LDAP.

Sovrin Stewards

The Sovrin ledger is operated by Stewards, trusted organizations within the ecosystem who have agreed to abide by the requirements in the Sovrin Trust Framework and are responsible for operation the nodes that maintain the Sovrin distributed ledger.

Stewards also, as a group, accept or reject any changes to the ledger-specific portions of the Sovrin open source code by virtue of that role. They thus provide a counterbalance to the Sovrin architects who maintain the Indy code base.
