Key Principles of Self-Sovereign Identity
Using SSI gives the user control over their digital identity and can provide a more secure method of protecting sensitive information from accidental loss.
Security and Privacy | Portability | User Control |
---|---|---|
Self-sovereign identity emphasizes strong security measures and privacy-enhancing technologies, such as encryption and decentralized storage, to protect personal information. | Individuals can share their digital identities across different platforms, services, and organizations without being tied to a specific identity provider. | Individuals have ultimate control over their personal data, determining what information is shared, with whom, and for what purpose |
Interoperability | Efficiency |
---|---|
Self-sovereign identity systems aim to establish standards and protocols that enable seamless interoperability between identity solutions, promoting compatibility and widespread adoption. | SSI addresses many of the challenges and limitations of traditional identity management systems, including inefficiencies and lack of trust |
