內容描述
Self-Sovereign Identity gives you a radical new perspective on how we represent ourselves in the world. In a world of changing privacy regulations, identity theft, and online anonymity, identity is a precious and complex concept. Self-Sovereign Identity lays out a roadmap for a future of personal sovereignty powered by the Blockchain and cryptography. Self-Sovereign Identity gives you a radical new perspective on how we represent ourselves in the world.
