SSI Flavors & Ecosystems

The SSI Kit abstracts complexity for developers by following a "multi-stack approach" that enables you to use different implementations or "flavours" of SSI.

As a result, you can participate in different identity ecosystems (e.g. EBSI/ESSIF, Gaia-X, Velocity Network, cheqd and IOTA) and avoid technology-related lock-in effects.

Based on our Introduction to Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI), we distinguish the following concepts or building blocks:

Each building block is available in different variations and can be put together in different ways. The result: different "SSI flavours".

• Trust Registries

• Keys

• Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs)

• Verifiable Credentials (VCs)

• Data Exchange Protocols
