This book is a comprehensive guide to the most essential solution for today's broken Internet. - Brian Behlendorf, GM for Blockchain, Healthcare, and Identity at the Linux Foundation In a world of constantly evolving privacy regulations, identity theft, and online anonymity, identity is a valuable and intricate concept. Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is a set of technologies that transfer control of digital identity from third-party "identity providers" directly to individuals, and it promises to be one of the most significant trends for the coming decades. Now, in Self-Sovereign Identity, privacy and personal data experts Drummond Reed and Alex Preukschat provide a roadmap for a future of personal sovereignty powered by blockchain and cryptography. By cutting through the technical jargon with dozens of practical use cases from experts across all major industries, they present a clear and compelling argument for why SSI is a paradigm shift and show how you can prepare for it.

The trust on the internet is at an all-time low. Large corporations and institutions control our personal data because we've never had a simple, safe, and strong way to prove who we are online. Self-sovereign identity (SSI) changes all that.

In Self-Sovereign Identity: Decentralized Digital Identity and Verifiable Credentials, you'll learn how SSI empowers us to receive digitally signed credentials, store them in private wallets, and securely prove our online identities. It combines a clear, jargon-free introduction to this blockchain-inspired paradigm shift with interesting essays written by its leading practitioners. Whether for property transfer, e-banking, frictionless travel, or personalized services, the SSI model for digital trust will reshape.
