A Novel Data for Authority Access Data Delegation by Utilizing Self-sovereign Identity and Verifiable Credentials
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Users can take charge of their digital identities and data with SelfSovereign Identity (SSI), a decentralized, user-centric approach to Identity Management (IdM). It lessens the drawbacks of conventional, centralized IdM systems and offers numerous benefits. Notwithstanding its advantages, SSI primarily emphasizes direct communication between two separate entities. When the identity holders are the verified bearers of their credentials, it permits direct identification, authentication, authorization, and access to resources and services. However, it mainly ignores indirect identity control, like delegation, which is a necessary component of everyday life and interpersonal relationships. In organizational settings, delegation is especially prevalent. It typically results from the need for increased productivity, relief, or distribution of work, as well as from the incapacity to carry out tasks, responsibilities, and duties for a variety of reasons. It needs more research and the creation of fresh strategies, though, as it is comparatively understudied within the SSI framework. Therefore, our study sought to close the previously mentioned gap and provide a thorough analysis of delegation in the SSI ecosystem.
