Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is a set of technologies that move control of digital identity from third party \"identity providers\" directly to individuals, and it promises to be one of the most important trends for the coming decades. Now in \u003ci\u003eSelf-Sovereign Identity\u003c\/i\u003e, privacy and personal data experts Drummond Reed and Alex Preukschat lay out a roadmap for a future of personal sovereignty powered by the Blockchain and cryptography. Cutting through the technical jargon with dozens of practical use cases from experts across all major industries, it presents a clear and compelling argument for why SSI is a paradigm shift, and shows how you can be ready to be prepared for it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the technology\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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, strong way to prove who we are online. Self-sovereign identity (SSI) changes all that. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the book\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eSelf-Sovereign Identity: Decentralized digital identity and verifiable credentials\u003c\/i\u003e, 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, ebanking, frictionless travel, or personalized services, the SSI model for digital trust will reshape our collective future. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhat's inside\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The architecture of SSI software and services\u003cbr\u003e The technical, legal, and governance concepts behind SSI\u003cbr\u003e How SSI affects global business industry-by-industry\u003cbr\u003e Emerging standards for SSI \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cb\u003eAbout the reader\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e For technology and business readers.
