Digital identity is an infrastructure necessary to do most everything on the Internet. And while there have been many solutions through the years, it remains a problem. Companies own the digital identities of the people that use their services, centralized databases are a security risk for cyberattacks, and users have little to no control of how their data is secured.

Self Sovereign Identity technologies give individuals and companies the ability to control and manage their own digital identifiers. This technology is gaining momentum as it solves previously unsolvable challenges. With the emergence of SSI open standards, a new layer of the internet emerges for the identity of people and organizations. SSI represents a new paradigm -- it changes the identity game completely.

    A great introduction to self sovereign identity covering the technology, players, and history. This should prepare anyone to start a journey down the SSI path either as a user, business, or developer.

    Kaliya and Heather have worked in digital identity for years. They both really know their stuff. They have pulled together everything you need to know to get started in the future of digital identity. Existential, technical, political. Lots of references to people, orgs and sites.

    In the new world of "trust,” deciding who you can "trust" as an expert can be challenging. In my efforts to navigate the mysteries behind SSI, A Comprehensive Guide to Self Sovereign Identity, simply yet technically guided me through this emerging technology. This is a "must read" for my team to guide us through this paradigm shift, into the future reality of identity and data.

    5.0 out of 5 stars DRM PDF format is difficult to read
    Reviewed in Canada on September 14, 2019

    This is a comment on the format, not the content. By content this is currently the definitive "book" on this topic, so highly recommended.

    Just be aware, this edition is published with DRM and as a PDF. It can't be read at read.amazon.com or any other way I could find, except on my (too small) smartphone. So I purchased a Kindle Fire specifically to read it. Then, I found out that since it's published as a PDF, the font size can't be changed and is very difficult to read. Even zooming in, as awkward as that would be, didn't really help. I finally found if I read it in landscape mode, it's legible, but it's not a great experience. I hope any updates to this report use a more user-friendly content.
