What is Self Sovereign Identity?
Self-sovereignty is the idea that it is an individual’s moral right to have ownership over their own body and life. Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is critical now, more than ever, because every company and entity has an online presence. Having so many siloed identities dramatically increases the chances of online fraud or identity mismanagement.
Plus, keeping in mind that we are living in an increasingly automated world that is soon going to implement IOT (internet of things), it is increasingly more critical for an individual to have identity rights.
How can the blockchain help usher in self-sovereign identity? Let’s take a look.
