Summary

A new paradigm for Self Sovereign Identity with “Bring your Own” Know-Your-Customer (KYC) through self-credentialisation

Challenges

• Launched an entirely new “bring-your-own” KYC model with partners
• Enable any individual globally to self-credentialise, with government approval, and use those credentials across businesses, dramatically cutting costs and approval time
• Provide a decentralised Identity, Credentials and Asset Ownership to ensures immutable integrity of KYC assets and transactions
• Enable credentials stored on an individuals’ Personal Data Servers to render citizens the legal owners and sole purveyors of their own sensitive information

Solutions

An open-source citizen app that will showcase self credentialisation and KYC for use by consumer apps

History

Originally developed as part of a £500k grant project “Smart Me vs Smart Things, funded by U.K. Government, this project was codenamed “Rumpel” and was developed into being a PDA Dashboard by Dataswift to enable individuals to view the content of their personal data server (in itself created through a £1.2m Hubofallthings HAT Microserver project) to enable access and control of their server connections with applications and websites.
