Abstract from the work:
SSI is a new distributed method for identity management, commonly used to address the problem that users are lack of control over their identities. However, the excessive pursuit of self-sovereignty in the most existing SSI schemes hinders sanctions against attackers. To deal with the malicious behavior, a few SSI schemes introduce accountability mechanisms, but they sacrifice users’ privacy. What’s more, the digital identities (static strings or updatable chains) in the existing SSI schemes are as inputs to a third-party executable program (mobile app, smart contract, etc.) to achieve identity reading, storing and proving, users’ self-sovereignty are weakened. To solve the above problems, we present a new self-sovereign identity scheme to strike a balance between privacy and accountability and get rid of the dependence on the third-party program.

Polygon announced the launch of Polygon ID, a self-sovereign identity solution powered by zero-knowledge technology, which has integrated with Polygon DAO. Polygon ID aims to put users in complete control of their digital identity, allowing them to prove specific aspects of their identity without revealing any personal information. With Polygon ID, DAOs can issue ecosystem-wide attestations about their members in a fully private and permissionless way and verify the attestations without collecting private information, trusting solely the ZK proof, and the source of trust (the issuer). Those attestations can then be used within governance to assist in decision making.
