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
