对于用户来说，使用用户名和密码进行身份验证变得越来越不方便。终端用户通常无法控制自己的个人隐私，影响数百万用户的数据泄露已经发生过几次。我们通过将其与自我主权身份相结合，实现了一个概念验证的去中心化OpenID连接提供商，这使用户可以从非常大的身份提供商池中自由选择，而不仅仅是选择少数几家公司，从而实现高度集中的数字身份领域的民主化。此外，我们提出了一种使用分布式账本技术的可验证凭据驱动的分散公钥基础设施，它为检索数字证书创建了一种简单且可验证的方式。
Authentication with username and password is becoming an inconvenient process for the user. End users typically have little control over their personal privacy, and data breaches effecting millions of users have already happened several times. We have implemented a proof of concept decentralized OpenID Connect Provider by marrying it with Self-Sovereign Identity, which gives users the freedom to choose from a very large pool of identity providers instead of just a select few corporations, thus enabling the democratization of the highly centralized digital identity landscape. Furthermore, we propose a verifiable credential powered decentralized Public Key Infrastructure using distributed ledger technologies, which creates a straightforward and verifiable way for retrieving digital certificates.
