Bringing Self-Sovereign Identity Into Practice: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

In the future, you will not only decide where your data is stored, but also with whom you want to share your data. If you share data, everything will be logged for you and you will always have an overview of who has received data from you. This is what transparency looks like and this is what SSI promises you.

Get first-hand insights from our experience on a project to initiate self-sovereign identity in Germany.
