Self-Sovereign Identity: How Will it Look in Practice?
summary
Hands-on demo of a working stack: an Android yellow comb smart wallet and a JavaScript library generate a DID (32 bytes entropy, DID = hash(pubkey)), derive two keys, anchor the DID on Rinkeby by storing an IPFS hash in a registry (library currently prepays ~0.1 Rinkeby), and issue W3C verifiable credentials. Services send JWT-based credential offers via QR; scanning returns a signed credential stored locally encrypted. Code and specs are open source, and meta-transaction support is planned.
