Blockchain is a peer-to-peer network that ,unlike traditional widely used networks, does not require a central authority in order to function. It operates in a trustless way. This means that the nodes in such a network do not have to be specifically permitted or validated by a central authority to participate in it. The network is assumed to be trustworthy because each transaction is validated by the whole network. This ensures trust since an adversary would have to seize control of the majority of the network nodes in order to enforce his authority in it. This thesis leverages the capabilities offered by the Hyperledger project to create a Self Sovereign Identity management solution. Such a management solution could provide users the ability to choose which of the her/his identity attributes will share with specific service providers in order to access their services.
