A high‑level, non‑technical look at Self‑Sovereign Identity and the EU Digital Identity Wallet
Embracing Self-Sovereign Identity: A Promising Future for Personal Data Management If you live in the Channel Islands and want your sensitive data kept securely on your own devices, new digital identity tools can help. Self‑sovereign identity (SSI) is a simple idea: you hold your own digital credentials (like an ID card, proof of age, or a qualification) in a secure app and share only what’s needed, with your consent.

A detailed look into SSI and the current projects including the EU Data Wallet
Navigating the Evolving Landscape of Self-Sovereign Identity: From Failures to Future Promises TL;DR Self-sovereign identity (SSI) is advancing but fragmented: Sovrin’s shutdown in 2025 underscores funding and adoption woes, while standards like AnonCreds (zero-knowledge proofs ZKPs for deep privacy) and SD‑JWT (lightweight web disclosure) compete. Projects like cheqd.io, Dock, and ION drive innovation, but interoperability lags. The EU’s EUDI Wallet, rolling out by 2026 with pilots testing cross-border creds, could unify implementations in one user‑controlled app—enabling seamless, consent‑based data sharing and digital sovereignty.

A high level look into SSI and the current projects including the EU Data Wallet
Why this post Self-sovereign identity (SSI) and its adjacent ecosystems evolved fast over the last 24 months. This post summarises where the core standards sit, how the European Digital Identity (EUDI) Wallet programme frames the stack, and what’s actually shipping across networks and vendors—using current, primary sources throughout. This post is a bit more technical in nature as implementation gets closer. If you need more details or background please read the deeper dive version of this post.
