Abstract:
The model based on Self-Sovereign Identities is an identity management strategy that, unlike classic models such as the centralized or federated model, allows users to have full control of their identity, without depending on external entities. A key element in a Self-Sovereign Identities-based system is the Verifiable Data Registry, where proofs and signatures of user credentials are securely recorded. This paper will present a Verifiable Data Registry that has been developed based on blockchain technology and implemented in an identity manager for a Data Space in the agri-food sector. In addition, the Smart Contracts developed to implement the necessary functionalities within the Self-Sovereign Identities context will be explained.
