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.
