Trust is the basic concept around which business and information security is formed. Like most systems, currently, X-Road uses a centralised root of trust to manage identities. The report presents the results of the research on migrating X-Road towards self-sovereign identity (SSI) management.
The report compares the centralised and decentralised identity management approaches to illustrate how systems should be changed to enable SSI. Additionally, the report discusses how the shift to the decentralised public key infrastructure can contribute to the X-Road trust model and member management.
