IDEA TITLE
Self-Sovereign Identity:User-Controlled Digital Identity
• Traditional digital identity systems are centralized, vulnerable to hacks and data misuse
• Users have no direct control over their personal data
• Repeated KYC/identity verification needed across services and sectors
• Lack of privacy, data breaches, and identity theft issue
• Proposed Solution
• Decentralized SSI framework empowering users with full control over identities
• Blockchain-based system for secure, tamper-proof verifiable credentials
• Single digital wallet for managing identity proofs and sharing selectively
• Eliminates intermediaries; reduces fraud and data duplication

TECHNICALAPPROACH
• Blockchain platform(e.g. Ethereum, Hyperledger) to store DIDs and
public keys
• Use of W3C standards: Decentralized Identifiers (DID) and Verifiable
Credentials (VC)
• Digital wallets for users to hold and present credentials securely
• Smart contracts to automate verification and revocation processes
• Process flow: Issuer → Holder → Verifier using blockchain registry

FEASIBILITY AND VIABILITY
oFeasibility
o Blockchain is secure & tamper – proof reliable for identity.
o Open standards (DID , verifiable credentials ) already exist.
o Works with mobile wallets easy adoption.
o Viability
o Reduces identity fraud & data leaks.
o Gives users full control privacy friendly.
o Scalable for govt., banks, education & healthcare.
o Long term cost saving vs. Central databases.
