Redefining Digital Identity: The Promise of Self-Sovereign Identity and Verifiable Credentials
Byte Size (BEGINNER level)

As the digitalization of our daily life is moving at ever-accelerating pace, the way we manage and control our identity is becoming a topic of major concern for both individuals and organizations. This presentation will demonstrate the potential of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) and Verifiable Credentials (VC) as promising solution for managing digital identity. After explaining the building blocks of SSI, the presentation will explore how this approach redefines identification systems, enhancing privacy and security. We’ll wrap up with a real-world example of how an SSI-based approach can be used to manage identities in an enterprise blockchain-based scenario.

Key topics include:

  • The evolution of digital identity and its current challenges
  • Fundamentals of Self-Sovereign Identity and its potential impact
  • Understanding Verifiable Credentials and their applications
  • The intersection of SSI with blockchain technology
  • Real-world use cases and future possibilities

This presentation offers insights for developers, privacy advocates, and anyone interested in the future of digital identity.
