My friend Allen who was at Brookings got a job with NTIA to figure out what issues to focus on and how to get multi-stakeholder collaboration on cyber security issues. Because he asked me to respond I took the time to give him my thoughts and input drawing on my experience with the attempts by NSTIC to do this same thing. Here is the PDF document. IPTF-Kaliya-2
I will in time work to publish it in blog sized sections online so it is more internally linkable (starting with an index from this post). Until then enjoy.
Your guide to Self-Sovereign Identity!
A comprehensive analysis of the technology, standards, projects, and companies that use blockchain for identity.
With Self Sovereign Identity, use Blockchain to enable a decentralized digital identity paradigm across the Internet.
Digital identity is an infrastructure necessary to do most everything on the Internet. Companies own the digital identities of the people that use their services.

This book will jumpstart your understanding of the industry; introduce you to the main technology, ledgers, wallets and projects; and help you understand how the pieces fit together.
