Design principle DP1: Utilize blockchain only for public data

Use blockchain in SSI processes only for public data: organizations should repeatedly request and verify attributes through bilateral communication channels and read from (rather than write to) the ledger, avoiding storage of personal data centrally and mitigating privacy and scalability challenges.

This design principle is proposed by Designing a Framework for Digital KYC Processes Built on Blockchain-Based Self-Sovereign Identity (Vincent Schlatt, Johannes Sedlmeir, Simon Feulner, Nils Urbach, 2022).

Designing a Framework for Digital KYC Processes Built on Blockchain-Based Self-Sovereign Identity

The paper demonstrates how blockchain-based self-sovereign identity can solve KYC challenges without violating data-protection regulation, deriving three nascent design principles that theorize blockchain's role for SSI: use blockchain only for public data, anticipate an ecosystem of various ledgers, and enable decentralization at the edge.
