dc.description.abstract | Digital identitetshåndtering har tradisjonelt blitt brukt for å logge inn på en maskin på jobb eller for å åpne epostkontoer. Idag er vår digitale identitet en stor del av våre daglige liv, og Self-Sovereign Identity er det neste steget for digital identitetshåndtering. Men hva er egentlig Self-Sovereign Identity? I denne oppgaven legger vi frem et forslag til kriterier og prinsipper, og basert på dette forslaget gjør vi en systematisk gjennomgang av implementasjoner av Self-Sovereing Identity systemene uPort, Sovrin, ShoCard og Civic. Konklusjonen er at Self-Sovereign Identity ikke enda er løst, og at det er viktig at akademia og non-profit organisasjoner tar ledelsen og leverer en standardisert måte å håndtere digitale identiteter. | |
dc.description.abstract | Digital identity systems has been around for almost as long as the computer and have evolved with the increased usage of online services. Digital identities have traditionally been used as a way of authenticating to the computer systems at work, or a personal online email. Today, our entire lives have a digital counterpart that become an integral part of everyday life. Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is the next step in the evolution of digital identity management systems and distributed ledgers have provided necessary building blocks for Self-Sovereign Identity Systems. But what exactly is an Ideal Self-Sovereign Identity? In this research we propose a definition and set of principles to characterizes the nature of successful SSI systems. Based on our criteria and principles we present a systematic analytical study of the current SSI landscape, represented by uPort, Sovrin, ShoCard, and Civic. A system for truly self-sovereign online identities are not yet archived in the current state of the field. It is our conclusion that it is paramount that a non-profit organization or academia take the reins on this effort and deliver a standardized way of managing online identities. | |
