Compact and Selective Disclosure for Verifiable Credentials

Self-Sovereign Identity SSI is a novel identity model that empowers individuals with full control over their data, enabling them to choose what information to disclose, with whom, and when. This paradigm is rapidly gaining traction worldwide, supported by numerous initiatives such as the European...

The End of Universal Lifelong Identifiers: Identity Systems for the AI Era

Many identity systems assign a single, static identifier to an individual for life, reused across domains like healthcare, finance, and education. These Universal Lifelong Identifiers ULIs underpin critical workflows but now pose systemic privacy risks. We take the position that ULIs are...
