• Abstract: Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) is an emerging paradigm for authentication and credential presentation that aims to give users control over their data and prevent any kind of tracking by (even trusted) third parties. In the European Union, the EUDI Digital Identity wallet is about to become a concrete implementation of this paradigm. However, a debate is still ongoing, partially reflecting some aspects that are not yet consolidated in the scientific state of the art. Among these, an effective, efficient, and privacy-preserving implementation of verifiable credential revocation remains a subject of discussion. In this work-in-progress paper, we propose the basis of a novel method that customizes the use of anonymous hierarchical identity-based encryption to restrict the Verifier access to the temporal authorizations granted by the Holder. This way, the Issuer cannot track the Holder's credential presentations, and the Verifier cannot check revocation information beyond what is permitted by the Holder.

• Decentralized Storage And Self-Sovereign Identity For Document-Based Claims [7.094737268994282]
  Decentralized identity systems often compromise user privacy due to online activity tracking or data breaches. This article introduces SoverClaim, a decentralized application prototype that empowers users to control their identity and also allows them to present digital documents with privacy. The prototype demonstrates the seamless integration of self-sovereign identities and document-based claims, achieving response times of under 750 ms.

• On the Compliance of Self-Sovereign Identity with GDPR Principles: A Critical Review [0.0]
  Self-sovereign identity (SSI) was introduced as an IdM model to reduce the possibility of data breaches. SSI is a decentralised IdM, where the data owner has sovereign control of personal data stored in their digital wallet. This paper provides an evolution to IdMs and reviews state-of-the-art SSI frameworks.

  In this paper, we propose a novel face privacy protection method based on diffusion models, dubbed Diff-Privacy. Specifically, we train our proposed multi-scale image inversion module (MSI) to obtain a set of SDM format conditional embeddings of the original image. Based on the conditional embeddings, we design corresponding embedding scheduling strategies and construct different energy functions during the denoising process to achieve anonymization and visual identity information hiding.

  Social media platforms curate access to information and opportunities, and so play a critical role in shaping public discourse. Prior studies have used black-box methods to show that these algorithms can lead to biased or discriminatory outcomes. We propose a new method for platform-supported auditing that can meet the goals of the proposed legislation.

  Data anonymization is an approach to privacy-preserving data release aimed at preventing participants reidentification.

This paper explores ideas for reducing the trust that must be placed in the curator, while still maintaining a statistical notion of $k$-anonymity.
