Zusammenfassung
Self-sovereign identity (SSI) is a relatively young identity management paradigm allowing digital identities to be managed in a user-centric, decentralized manner, often but not necessarily utilizing distributed ledger technologies. This emerging technology gets into the focus through the new electronic IDentification, Authentication and trust Services (eIDAS) regulation in Europe. As identity management involves the management and use of personally identifiable information, it is important to evaluate the threats to SSI. We apply the STRIDE (Spoofing, Tampering, Repudiation, Information Disclosure, Denial of Service, and Elevation of Privilege) threat modeling approach to the core components of SSI architecture and the interactions between them. Based on the summarized results, we discuss relevant mitigation methods and future research areas.
