* Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is the approach to data management that moves personally identifiable information (PII) out of centralised organisational databases and into the privacy of a consumer’s cryptographically-secured digital wallet app. Using distributed ledger technology and pairwise connections, the data can then be verified by universities and other trusted institutions and selectively shared with employers and other organisations. The result is less credential fraud, better security, increased user control, and improved data protection.
