The future of digital identity: SSI and Blockchain

Identity is a fundamental concept present in all of our lives. It defines us and distinguishes us from others. As we have moved into a digital world, digital identity is becoming an increasingly important issue.  Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) provides the means for individuals or organizations to be sole owners of their digital identities. Thanks to SSI, we can control over how our personal data is used and shared.

At the same time, the emerging world of digital identities for devices, applications, etc. also requires new means of handling and controlling what data is exposed to various parties involved. This presents SSI tech a unique opportunity to impact the market at a different level. DSR is a pioneer of this new approach to digital security.

• Real-world use cases and applications.
