Digital identity is evolving fast
Centralized
• Silo-based
• Very restricted use
• Single purpose
• Not portable
Federated
• Central “provider”
• Multiple services can use
it.
• Use case limited
• Typically login-related
○ Social Log-In
○ Apple ID
○ Employee SSO
○ eIDAS
Decentralized SSI
• No central provider
• Any use case
• Any data
• Open ecosystem
• User controlled
• Privacy centric
Federated Identity Example: eIDAS overview
Federated log-in user experience
Scan to login
SSI log-in user experience
Example of government federated identity

Decentralized SSI
Moving from “closed loop identity”
to “open identity ecosystems”
Like paper credentials, but better
Any credential for any purpose.
