• Abstract: The terms self-sovereign identity (SSI) and decentralised identity are often used interchangeably, which results in increasing ambiguity when solutions are being investigated and compared. This article aims to provide a clear distinction between the two concepts in relation to the revised Regulation as Regards establishing the European Digital Identity Framework (eIDAS 2.0) by providing a systematisation of knowledge of technological developments that led up to implementation of eIDAS 2.0. Applying an inductive exploratory approach, relevant literature was selected iteratively in waves over a nine months time frame and covers literature between 2005 and 2024. The review found that the decentralised identity sector emerged adjacent to the OpenID Connect (OIDC) paradigm of Open Authentication, whereas SSI denotes the sector's shift towards blockchain-based solutions. In this study, it is shown that the interchangeable use of SSI and decentralised identity coincides with novel protocols over OIDC. While the first part of this paper distinguishes OIDC from decentralised identity, the second part addresses the incompatibility between OIDC under eIDAS 2.0 and Web3. The paper closes by suggesting further research for establishing a digital identity bridge for connecting applications on public-permissionless ledgers with data originating from eIDAS 2.0 and being presented using OIDC.

  Web3's decentralised infrastructure has upended the standardised approach to digital identity protocols like OpenID Connect. Web2 and Web3 currently operate in silos, with selective disclosure web tokens (SD-JWTs) and Web3 dApps being reliant on verifiable-chain data. This paper explores the integration of Web3 within the OpenID Connect framework, scrutinising established authentication protocols for their adaptability to decentralised identities.

  Visible-Infrared person re-identification (VI-ReID) is an important and challenging task in intelligent video surveillance. Existing methods mainly focus on learning a shared feature space to reduce the modality discrepancy between visible and infrared modalities. We present a novel mutual information and modality consensus network, namely CMInfoNet, to extract modality-invariant identity features.

  Object Re-identification (ReID) aims to retrieve the probe object from many gallery images by associating and collecting the identities across all camera views. When deploying the ReID algorithm in real-world scenarios, the aspect of storage, privacy constraints, and dynamic changes of cameras would degrade its generalizability and applicability. Treating each camera's data independently, we introduce a novel ReID task named Camera-Incremental Object Re-identification (CIOR) by continually optimizing the ReID mode from the incoming stream of the camera dataset.
