Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI)

Every company stores copies of your identity. Your bank has your passport scan. Your employer has your tax ID. Your doctor has your health records. Each one is a target. Each one is a liability. Data breaches expose billions of records every year. Companies spend millions on security — and still get hacked. The problem isn't the security budget. It's the architecture. When you store sensitive data centrally, you create a honeypot that attracts attackers. Self-sovereign identity flips this model. Instead of companies storing your data, you hold your own verified credentials in a wallet. When a service needs to verify your age, your qualification, or your identity — you share a proof, not the underlying data. The challenge? Building SSI systems that are actually usable, legally compliant, and integrate with existing business processes.
