Interoperability Standards:
Standards like DIDComm and W3C specifications ensure your decentralized identity works seamlessly across platforms.

Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs):
ZKPs allow you to prove something is true (e.g., your age or income level) without sharing any extra information. Privacy + trust = ✔️

Verifiable Credentials (VCs):
Think of VCs as digital certificates issued by trusted entities (e.g., universities, banks). These are cryptographically signed and can be verified without revealing all your details.

Public Key Infrastructure (PKI):
DID uses cryptographic keys for secure identity verification. Your private key is used to sign data, and your public key proves it’s yours—secure and tamper-proof.

Example: Instead of sharing your full ID to prove your age, a decentralized identity can confirm “Yes, 18+” without exposing extra details.

DID is built on principles of:

• Ownership: You control your identity and data.

• Privacy: Share only the necessary information.

• Interoperability: Use your identity across platforms securely.

Traditional digital identity systems rely on centralized databases managed by governments, corporations, or institutions. These systems are prone to:

• Data breaches

• Identity theft

• Limited access for the unbanked

The result?

✅ More control over data

✅ Enhanced privacy

✅ Easier access to global services

By using Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), SSI ensures privacy. You can prove eligibility (e.g., age) without revealing extra details (e.g., birthdate). 🔒

SSI also enables access to services for the unbanked. Projects like uPort give people without official documents a secure digital identity. 🌍

In financial services, SSI makes KYC (Know Your Customer) easier and more secure. You can share only the necessary info without exposing sensitive data. 🏦

Traditional identity systems rely on central authorities (e.g., governments, banks). Blockchain allows self-sovereign identity (SSI), letting individuals own and manage their credentials.

Example: Digital passports that you control, reducing identity theft risks.
