Technologies within the context of SSI range from technical solutions like decentralised public key infrastructure (DPKI) to high-level concepts like guardianship. When encountering a new standard, it can be hard to figure out its context:
- What does the technology described in the standard achieve?
- Is this technology compatible with or competitive to other standard y?
- Is this standard part of an interoperability profile?
To answer these questions, we have developed a graphical overview of SSI-related standards and an accompanying documentation. The overview is structured along the ToIP Technology Stack. These documents are a first draft and should be considered work in progress.
We welcome contributions. You can contribute through raising issues or by forking the repository. To edit the graphic overview, alter standards-overview-v2.drawio and export it as index.html. To update the documentation, alter docs.md and generate docs.html (this capability is built-in in Visual Studio Code by right-clicking the preview).
