Too Long; Didn't Read

Decentralized Digital Identity is an emerging self-owned identity management concept that allows users to generate, manage and control their identity without depending on any third party service or identity provider. The current problem with Centralized Identity Management is that it is owned and maintained by a single issuer. With decentralized identity, there is no user name and password but rather cryptographic keys to log in to a website, and you only share the data relevant to a specific service. One main advantage is once your identity is presented, you can revoke it at any point with just a single click.
