In a world that's becoming increasingly interconnected, establishing trust within global networks is both a critical challenge and a foundational necessity for successful collaboration and secure data exchange. The emergence of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) and Decentralized Identifiers (DID) has introduced new paradigms for digital identity that empower individuals and organizations with greater control and privacy while also ensuring interoperability and trust at scale.
This talk delves into how SSI and DID can be leveraged to create a more secure and trustworthy framework for identity verification and management within global automotive network Catena-X. We will explore how these technologies facilitate seamless interactions by enabling legal entities to present verifiable credentials in a peer-to-peer manner without the need for a central authority.
