10 Principles of Self-Sovereign Identity as describe http://bit.ly/PathSelfSovereign …
1/ Existence: Users have an independent existence — they are never wholly digital
2/ Control: Users must control their identities, celebrity or privacy as they prefer
3/ Access: Users must have access to their own data — no gatekeepers, nothing hidden
4/ Transparency: Systems and algorithms must be open and transparent
5/ Persistence: Identities must be long-lived — for as long as the user wishes
6/ Portability: Information and services about identity must be transportable by the user
7/ Interoperability: Identities should be as widely usable as possible; e.g. cross borders
8/ Consent: Users must freely agree to how their identity information will be used
9/ Minimization: Disclosure of claims about an identity must be as few as possible
10/ Protection: The rights of individual users must be protected against the powerful
