Self-sovereign identity as a tool for digital democracy

Computers and Society 2021-06-23 v1

Abstract

The importance of digital identity as a foundation for digital public services is considered. As the classical, centralised model digital identity has proven to be subject to several limitations, self-sovereign identities are proposed as replacement, especially in the context of e-government platforms and direct participation to policymaking (e.g. through e-voting tools).
