Self-Sovereign
Identity
Your credentials live on your device and you control them. You're not a profile inside someone else's database.
Your identity, in your pocket
Today, who you are usually means rows in someones database. Self-sovereign identity flips this: your identity is a set of credentials you hold on your phone, and you choose when and to whom they're shown.
The old way: your identity is rented
Every app keeps its own file on you. You don't really own it, you can't move it, and it sits in a database that can be breached, sold, or used to track you.
The dZTA way: you hold the wallet
Credentials — like "verified employee" or "member of this network" — are issued to your phone's wallet and stored there. You present them, not a database. Revocation is controlled by verifiable math, not by a company deleting your file.
What you get
You can carry the same verified identity across services without each one building a profile of you. No central registry tracks where you've been or what you've done.
What's in the wallet
Three pieces work together to put you in control.
Your identifier
A unique 'digital you' generated and controlled on your device. It's yours — no company hands it to you and none can take it away.
Your credentials
Digitally signed proofs — "this person works here", "this person is cleared" — issued to your wallet and stored on your phone, not in a central file.
Your control
You decide what to present, to whom, and when. Combined with Zero-Knowledge Proofs, you can reveal even less — just the answer, never the credential.
