An Integration Architecture to Enable Service Providers for Self-sovereign Identity
Abstract
The self-sovereign identity management model emerged with the rise of blockchain technology. This paradigm focuses on user-centricity and strives to place the user in full control of the digital identity. Numerous implementations embrace the self-sovereign identity concept, leading to a fragmented landscape of solutions. At the same time, traditional identity and access management protocols are largely disregarded and facilities to issue verifiable claims as attributes are not available. Therefore, service providers barely adopt these solutions. We propose a component-based architecture for integrating self-sovereign identity solutions into web applications to foster their adoption by service providers. Furthermore, we outline a sample implementation as a gateway that enables uPort and Jolocom for authentication, via the OpenID Connect protocol, as well as the retrieval of email address attestations for these solutions.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
