Why Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) ?

A radically better way to model digital identity and utilize data.

 

Data Sources

Businesses give users their data and can earn money.

Data Owners

Users collect their data and share it effortlessly with others.

Data Consumers

Businesses get reliable, high-quality user data.

How it works.

Identity data is transformed into digital credentials that can easily be shared and verified.

Example: A government (Issuer = Data Source) issues a digital passport (Credential) to a citizen (Holder = Data Owner), which the latter presents to a bank (Verifier = Data Consumer) to open an account.
