Decentralized Identity Systems

Abstract

This chapter covers decentralized identity concepts such as self-sovereign identity, decentralized identifiers, and verifiable credentials. The chapter is divided into 16 parts. The first few parts cover digital identity concepts. Then various decentralized identity concepts such as self-sovereign identity (SSI), decentralized identifiers (DIDs), and verifiable credentials (VCs) are covered. Then various auxiliary concepts such as decentralized identity in Ethereum and decentralized identity projects are discussed.
