Self-Sovereign Identity

As digital interactions become central to everyday life, the question of who controls our identity online has never been more important. Self-Sovereign Identity: Decentralized Digital Identity and Verifiable Credentials explores a transformative approach to digital identity—one where individuals, not institutions, control their personal data.

In this insightful guide, Alex Preukschat explains the principles behind Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI), a new model that uses decentralized technologies to give people ownership of their digital identities. The book introduces key concepts such as decentralized identifiers (DIDs), verifiable credentials, and blockchain-based identity systems that enable secure, privacy-preserving authentication across digital platforms.

Designed for technologists, policymakers, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in the future of digital identity, this book combines theory, real-world use cases, and practical frameworks for implementing decentralized identity solutions.

Inside the book, readers will learn:

• The foundations and philosophy of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI)

• How decentralized identifiers (DIDs) and verifiable credentials work

• The role of blockchain and distributed technologies in identity systems

• Privacy, security, and trust in decentralized identity networks

• Real-world applications across finance, government, and digital services

Thought-provoking and forward-looking, Self-Sovereign Identity: Decentralized Digital Identity and Verifiable Credentials provides a comprehensive look at how decentralized technologies are reshaping the way individuals manage and protect their digital identities in the modern world. 🔐🌐📘
