What is Self Sovereign Identity (SSI)?

Reply

SSI is a new model for Internet-scale digital identity based on an emerging set of protocols, cutting edge cryptography and open standards.

Longer Answer

Technological and social movements have come together that make SSI possible.

It is information given out by a party involved. It is empowering the individual to help governments doing their job. With SSI a criminal can’t cheat without being caught. SSI reduces the state‘s expense per individual. SSI makes tough investigation easier and false judgements rarer. The mechanism verifies automaticly and handles broken cases gracefully.
