The Current Problem In the physical world, we prove our identity with documents like a driver's license. These documents assert facts about us such as our name, age, or eye color. But driver's licenses don’t exist on the Internet. Instead, to prove our identity we’re forced to use a patchwork of username-password systems. Because we deal with so many of these siloed systems, often on a daily basis, our personal information ends up being replicated and sold all across the Internet, compromising our privacy and undermining our security. Read The Blog Post The Sovrin Solution Sovrin is a decentralized, global public utility for self-sovereign identity. Self-sovereign means a lifetime portable identity for any person, organization, or thing. It’s a smart identity that everyone can use and feel good about. Having a self-sovereign identity allows the holder to present verifiable credentials in a privacy-safe way. These credentials can represent things as diverse as an airline ticket or a driver's license. Sovrin identities will transform the current broken online identity system. Sovrin identities will lower transaction costs, protect people’s personal information, limit opportunity for cybercrime, and simplify identity challenges in fields from healthcare to banking to IoT to voter fraud. https://blog.sovrin.org/sovrin-launch-ceremony-21a7d8141ba3
