Introduction

  • As shown in the figure above, in the Self-Sovereign digital identity model personal data is stored in user’s private digital wallet and can be certified by an issuer who can be a well-known organization. The user can share all or selected data with the third party verifier as per business need. The organization sends a reference data to the public Blockchain while issuing the certificate which the verifier checks online to know if the data is valid. Later if required, the issuer also can revoke the credential by updating of the reference data on the Blockchain. In that case the verifier would be able to check on Blockchain and know that the certificate once issued, however is invalid now.
