Part of the digital ID push.

The bill has advanced through committees in both the House and Senate, but it is yet to be put to a vote.

Self-sovereign identity (SSI) is like a physical wallet, but digital.

It holds strong digital credentials given to you by orginizations you deal with — digital versions of the same physical credentials you already have — that you can choose to share with others.

Unlike an Apple or proprietary wallet, no one else can see it, change it, or take it away; the wallet and credentials inside are yours, and you can move them off your device or from device to device.

With Self-sovereign identity (SSI), the power to control personal data resides with the individual, and not an administrative third party granting or tracking access to these credentials (Not Facebook, Google, et.al.).
