A good self‐sovereign identity system will allow individuals to directly influence how companies, governments, and others correlate our interactions across different services and locations by default. It won’t fix all identity problems nor preclude alternative identity approaches, but it will put the individual in control of most uses of identity and give organizations a simpler, easier, more ethical way to use identity to improve how they provide services and products. When successful, it will not only enable individuals to exercise greater control over how companies and governments keep track of us, it will also illuminate those situations where self‐sovereign identity is restricted, facilitating a conversation about when and where such limits are appropriate.
Joe Andrieu -A Technology‐Free Definition of Self‐Sovereign Identity

🚧 Decentralized-ID.com Updates! 🚧
This site hadn't gotten as much attention, for some time, and much of the content had grown out of date. For the past 2 years our focus has been on Identosphere's weekly Self Sovereign Identity newsletter.
Now we have begun to integrate that content from the newsletter, and gone over much of the older content, so this site will better reflect the current state of this ecosystem.
We've also been rebuilding some of the structure of how this content will all be generated and displayed, into the future. Stay tuned for more updates and announcement.
