In traditional internet, your digital identity is often controlled by large companies. Decentralized Identifiers (DID) and the concept of Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) are changing this by giving you full control over your data:
DID: A unique identifier that you create and control yourself, without intermediaries.
SSI: An approach where you decide what data to share, with whom, and when, using cryptographically verified credentials.
This means you can verify your identity (such as age or qualifications) without disclosing unnecessary information, significantly enhancing privacy and security online.
