!!! Overview [1]
[{$pagename}] is a private-sector, international [non-profit|not-for-profit Entity] that was established to govern the world’s first [Self-Sovereign Identity] ([SSI]) network.
The [Internet] is missing a layer for secure [identity|Digital Identity] which is currently costing us hundreds of billions of dollars each year. The [{$pagename}] is showing the world that when we control our own identities, many exciting and liberating possibilities are at our fingertips.
Providing an enduring solution for global [identity|Digital Identity] requires significant effort and careful planning. The [{$pagename}] exists to provide the human [governance] and [Trust Frameworks] that will be needed to establish ground rules and ensure the [integrity] of the network. To be effective at this task, the [identity|Digital Identity] has been designed to establish [trust] through [transparency], diffusion, and neutrality.
The [identity|Digital Identity] has intentionally invited board members to represent expertise from across multiple industries and geographies, ensuring that special interests – whether commercial, governmental, or otherwise – do not unduly influence decisions. Our intent is to devise a process so that the elected Board of Trustees will be representative of the people and organizations who own identities on the [Sovrin] network.
[identity|Digital Identity] is a [non-profit|not-for-profit Entity]. We don’t actually own the network – no one does, much like the [Internet] itself. The [Sovrin] network is public: everyone can get a [Sovrin] identity. Individuals and organizations own and control their identities. The Sovrin network is permissioned: the infrastructure for ensuring consensus on identity transactions is provided by carefully vetted and permissioned [Sovrin Steward]s who independently own and operate their nodes on the network. These combine to form a system of checks and balances that earns trust through action rather than promises.
!! Free and [Open Source] [2]
Sovrin’s codebase is Apache2 licensed, a permissive [Open Source] license that removes important obstacles to widespread implementation and development.
