# DID - Digital Identity Decentralized
>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. [Joe Andrieu -A TechnologyFree Definition of SelfSovereign Identity](https://github.com/jandrieu/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2016/blob/master/topics-and-advance-readings/a-technology-free-definition-of-self-sovereign-identity.pdf)
## Note:
I'm getting to know the minimal-mistakes theme over at [SourceCrypto](https://infominer.id/SourceCrypto). I've gone as far with this theme as it can take me, and don't want to mess with the structure of this theme any more until I get the hang of [minimal-mistakes](https://mademistakes.com/work/minimal-mistakes-jekyll-theme/).
As you can see, I'm continually working to break up the info into separate files, so it can all grow :D

## What is Decentralized ID? [**^**](#contents)
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.
