A great book from Rohan Pinto diving into decentralised identities especially blockchain and its applications outside cryptocurrency

Amazon Verified review

Matt Johnson Jul 21, 2024

Yet another book from Packt I’m happy to have in my library of books. "Decentralized Identity Explained" is a must-have for any professional involved in identity management. Its insights, coverage, and emphasis on best practices make it an invaluable resource for enhancing organizational security and user experiences in our ever changing world of Cybersecurity. This book will take you from the beginning of digital identities to future trajectories, help you learn some IAM framework and more.

Jack Sep 21, 2024

The book starts by thoroughly examining centralized IAM systems, providing a solid foundation for readers to grasp the complexities and limitations of traditional digital identity management. It then introduces Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) as a groundbreaking, decentralized approach to IAM, offering an in-depth exploration of SSI's potential to transform digital identity management. SSI empowers users with autonomy over their personal data by utilizing decentralized cryptographic concepts, blockchain technology, and distributed ledger systems to create and maintain digital identities without relying on a central authority. The book also discusses how SSI aligns with GDPR regulations, emphasizing the critical importance of data protection, consent management, and secure data processing. This discussion illustrates how SSI not only preserves privacy and reinforces digital rights but also empowers individuals in the digital age. I highly recommend this book, as it opened my mind to the next wave in IAM innovation. Ivonne Fernandez
