Abstract:
The SEAL (Student and Citizen Identity Linked) project targets two important aspects of identity management: give the users control over their own data, and facilitate the reconciliation of the multiple electronic identities citizens have across public and private institutions. Through a modular, extensible, and scalable design, the SEAL service empowers the citizen to build his own persistent and unique identity, while still having control over the anonymity and traceability. This citizen empowerment is due to the exploration of the Self-Sovereign Identity concept, which reduces data exposition and critical dependencies, building a bridge between the federated data world and the Self-Sovereign Identity new horizons. In this paper we describe the paradigm that SEAL proposes for dealing with identity reconciliation issues and its contribution to secure digital identities, and how users can control all of this through the SEAL service dashboard.
