Speaker

Daniël DuSeuil, Convenor European Self Sovereign Identity Framework (EBSI) at European Blockchain Partnership


Description
The core principle around self-sovereign identity (SSI) is the reaffirmation that individuals have complete ownership and control of their personal data and they alone govern how and when that personal information is shared.  Self-sovereign identity and the technological leap over early blockchain usages presents a powerful solution to handing over ownership and control of learner credentials to the learners themselves. Using innovation to disrupt is at the centre of SSI development as we accelerate towards a world turning traditional notions of who we are on its head.
