Self-sovereign and Decentralized identity as the future of identity management?
Open accessAbstract
Blockchain-based Self-sovereign and Decentralized identity approaches are seen by many as the future of identity management. These solutions are supposed to finally bring universally usable, trustworthy, secure, and privacy friendly digital identities for everyone and all use cases.

In spite of their technical advantages, attribute-based access control systems that enable authentication of natural persons based on public key infrastructure failed to achieve mainstream adoption.
“In spite of their technical advantages, these solutions failed to achieve mainstream adoption (Kubach et al. 2020; Novakouski 2013).”

Companies like esatus, Evernym, and Trinsic use the name SSI to market decentralized digital identity solutions that involve verifiable credentials, Aries-compatible wallets, and a blockchain-based PKI, while other companies use the same name to market solutions that do not necessarily involve any of these things.
“Companies like esatus, Evernym, and Trinsic use the name SSI to market decentralized digital identity solutions that involve verifiable credentials, Aries-compatible wallets, and a blockchain-based PKI; but other companies use the same name to market solutions that do not necessarily involve any of these things (Gasteiger 2021; Kubach et al. 2020; Kuperberg 2020).”

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.
