“Creating a unified decentralized identity ecosystem requires addressing a set of fundamental user needs and technical challenges:
1. Enabling registration of self-sovereign identifiers that no provider owns or controls.
2. The ability to lookup and discover identifiers and data across decentralized systems.
3. Providing a mechanism for users to securely store sensitive identity data, and enabling them to precisely control what is shared with others.”
"A key piece to decentralized identity is how people, devices, and other entities in the world are identified without a centrally owned registry."
“In distributed identity systems, many identity providers collect, store and transfer user attributes to many relying parties. These systems are notable in that they do not rely on attributes from a single identity provider. The purpose of these systems is to allow users to interact easily with many different entities in an online environment by giving them a digital “wallet” of credentials.”
