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 an app-agnostic decentralised Universal Identity, with Credentials and Asset Ownership that ensure immutable integrity of assets and transactions
- Enable credentials stored on 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
- A PDA Dashboard for Dataswift’s Personal Data Servers
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 “Hub-of-all-things” HAT Microserver project) to enable access and control of their server connections with applications and websites.
