Privacy-preserving image sharing through self-sovereign identity

Sharing photographs online has never been simpler. Unfortunately, this makes it too easy for others to use pictures without the photographer’s permission. Researchers at the Surrey Centre for Cyber Security are using an identity management system known as self-sovereign identity in their web app. Unlike traditional identity systems, SSI allows users to control and manage their identity. This will enable photographers to register their images, while still preserving their privacy.
