Self-sovereign identity is a type of decentralized identity technology and has
been proposed to solvevarious problems of the existing public key infrastructure based
centralized identity authenticationservice. In addition, the demand for a secure
decentralized access control management (ACM)technique has increased according to the
demand for such next-generation identity identificationservice. Accordingly, although
various ACM techniques that can be applied to decentralized serviceshave been proposed,
most fall into the introductory stage of research. In this paper, based on
theSOVRIN-based restructured verifiable credential concept proposed in our previous
study, we providea hierarchical sovereignty and ACM technique that does not use a smart
contract.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
