SSI
Public.icon
The main idea of SSI is to replace human gatekeepers for ID verification with a decentralized open algorithm.
Individuals must present one or more identity markers or verifiable claims and prove that they are who they say they are.
Verified users receive a secret key that they physically own and manage, which allows them to access the blockchain network.
Authentication credentials vary by use case, but they may include information that identifies an individual, such as an ID or passport issued by a state, and it is also highly likely.
In any case, individuals will relinquish control of their personal information when they submit it for verification.
1. If SSI does not prove an individual's uniqueness, one person may have multiple valid digital IDs.
2. Users can forge documents to support their ID in small ways, and the document holder does not need to be human.
3. The check against authoritative authorities is insufficient, and there is no way to reconcile competing standards, so individuals can obtain official certificates by having the government verify fraudulent IDs that are widely circulated.
[The problem of passports currently in circulation is similar to that of Previous companies, interviews and appearances related to oneself.icon.]
In addition, bias may occur in the verification algorithm, and there may be a possibility of judging that American certificates are more reliable than Nigerian certificates.
