Self-Sovereign Identity: The Revolution of Digital Identity

Authors: Cristian Lepore

ABSTRACT

Digital identity is important for businesses and governments to grow. When apps or websites ask us to create a new digital identity or log in using a big platform, we do not know what happens to our data. That is why experts and governments are working on creating a safe and trustworthy digital identity. This identity would let anyone file taxes, rent a car, or prove their financial income easily and privately. This new digital identity is called Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI). In our work, we propose an SSI-based model to evaluate different identity options and we then prove our model value on the European identity framework.
