This video dives into the topic of online identity and explains an identity system which puts the user in control without relying on a proprietary framework.

We use the terminology of SSI, as the concept of individuals or organizations having sole ownership of their digital and analogue identities, and control over how their personal data is shared and used. The user is central to the administration of one’s own identity. This adds a layer of security and flexibility allowing the identity holder to only reveal the necessary data for any given transaction or interaction. It gives individuals or organizations agency to control their identity information and therefore acknowledges that identity is about much more than logging in.
