+# What is Self-Sovereign Identity?
+"Lifetime portable identity for and person, organisation, or thing that does not depend on any centralised authority and cannot be taken away" - Drummond Reed, Chief Trust Officer Evernym

+# Internet standards groups 
+Devloping standards for self-sovereign identity is important so that different companies solutions are interoperable. These are the main internet standards bodies that I know about. They are currently working on developing standards for DID's, Decentralised Key Management, DID Auth and Verifiable Credentials.
